Yes it's that wonderful time of year when Fox news scrapes the bottom of the barrel once again with their annual "War on Xmas" Christian victimology theme. They're just not happy unless there's a war and if there isn't one they'll contrive one.
Another war? As long as it increases ratings. It is always about ratings. That is with all news agencies. The truth does not matter. It is rating that being in the $$$$
I listened to a 8 minute segment on a primetime news program in Memphis about the war on Xmas.
Get over it people! Christ was not born on December 25. There is no authority for celebrating or making up holy days to celebrate Christ birthday. Its beyond annoying.

You understand that there isn't a person alive over the age of, maybe 10, who thinks Jesus was born on December 25, right?
The whole war on Christmas nonsense is so annoying and it comes from either side of the coin. People getting asshurt over the phrase Happy Holidays are dumb, plain and simple. People who think that the acceptance of other faiths like Islam, Judaism, Atheism, etc is going to "ruin" their Christmas, either have a very small amount of faith or they don't watch TV at all. The president lit a "CHRISTMAS" Tree, CBS aired a CHRISTMAS special with Regis Philbin from a Catholic Church in New York with a re-enactment of the birth of Christ. Christmas is going NOWHERE, so calm down.
Meanwhile, on the other side of town, some people stamp a big X on Christmas. A poster earlier said "put the X back into XMas" Which of course these types of statements lack all sorts of logic as well. Christmas took a lot of the pagan rituals and used them for the holiday, a holiday that was created as a celebration of Christ. Period. That's what the holiday called Christmas was created for. For people to get asshurt over the idea of the word CHRIST being in the word Christmas are either just trying to get "all up in people's faces" to purposely be a douchebag, or they are legitimately offended and are on the same level as the people who get upset about Happy Holidays.
Whatever the problem is, I love the holiday season and always hate to see it go, but at least the end of the holiday season will put an end to the bulls**t War on Christmas fantasy talk for a year or so.
Whatever you celebrate, or if you don't celebrate at all, I truly hope you had a great time this month and did not allow yourself to sit around worrying too much about what other people do that don't effect you at all.
"Wars" play well with the older socially isolated crowd that Fox has for viewership. These silly wars have been proven to be figments of rather loony minds for years, but it doesn't stop people who want to be angry about something. Anger and blame at others is easier than introspection and self awareness, as well as being less painful.
