...like anyone in this country could be unaware of the "christmas" season! I stopped saying merry xmas years ago out of respect for those who are not christians. You can bet those words will never cross my lips again after this pronouncement from Moron! Ugh.
Personally, my family and I celebrate "Festivus", if anything!

Now i will - no more 'merry christmas.' Happy holidays or maybe even a happy Saturnalia or happy Yule.

So yeah - Winter Solstice, longest night - just no more 'Merry Christmas'

Roof spring a leak? Oh, Merry Christmas!
Like acknowledgment of a cruel joke, which is what it is, a la no savior, etc.
