What an idiot. What's wrong with a business saying "Happy Holidays" when they know they have shoppers or clients that may be celebrating various holidays at that time. How's that a war on Christmas? This really does point out the sniveling snowflakes these people must be.
Well, we all know what a good Christian O'Reilly turned out to be.

Tell me about it. It has ruined the season. Christmas should be a time for everyone to come together. It's a secular holiday today and people don't have to be Christian to celebrate it. Republicans however have weaponized it against the "evil secular liberals" and have made it about promoting the agenda of the religious right.

Wrong.

Unlike the folks who believed fake news about a war on Christmas, we never stopped celebrating. Never stopped saying Merry Christmas. The other day in the grocery store, the cashier did say "happy holidays"--but that's a business and they have to include everyone. Anyway, he was wearing a Santa hat

Manger scenes protested and vandalized, CHRIST taken out of everything and changed to holidays, Songs changed so instead of Pastor Brown it's a funny clown...no, there's been no war on Christmas...

Oh, and let's not forget now the song Baby it's cold outside is equivalent to date rape...

I often wonder where you get this stuff. Pastor Brown is a funny clown? what?

Baby, it's Cold Outside is a great old song--if someone didn't approve of it, they must be an idiot.

Christ had to be taken out of PUBLIC schools because not all families are of the same religion. Back in the old days when I was in school, Jewish families wouldn't allow us to celebrate Christmas in school. So we stopped. They didn't teach their religion in our school and we didn't teach ours. Fair enough.

In no way does that stop us from Christmas displays at home or in our churches. Really, you should have gotten over this a long time ago.
