I am curious about one detail though: Why do such large parts of the right insist that "Christmas" is a word the left wants banned? That seems to be quite unfactual, yet I hear that over and over again, "we can finally say Merry Christmas again". Was there ever any limitation to that liberty?
As to the Christmas thing, I think it is in reference to folks stating that saying Merry Christmas does not include all religions and/or atheists. There have been examples of open-minded folks wanting Nativity scenes removed, ect... The feeling is that Christmas celebrates the birth of Christ so why should it not be focused on him?
As for me: I'll say Merry Christmas to everyone, if they tell me it offends them (and they have) I'll say Okey Doke, have a good day.
As to Trump's remarks, that's why I said let's wait to see what he says.
