War/Not War on Christmas

I agree that "war" is a bad word for it, but it has become less popular and socially acceptable to celebrate Christmas and more popular and socially acceptable to celebrate "the Holidays". I remember when I was a kid, you used to be able to say to anyone "Merry Christmas". Now the other place I feel comfortable doing that is with my own family and when I am at Church.

One other thing I've noticed is that town and city Christmas trees are referred to as "Holiday trees", yet I never see a town or city Menorah referred to as a "Holiday candle".

So I would say there is a skirmish on Christmas.
