It was on our list to do this year, but with the gay agenda (I’m on two committees for that) and supporting terrorists (vote Democrat!), we just couldn’t dedicate enough time to our War on Christmas. As a result, the American Family Association won a unique victory while we were distracted.

That's why we call this joyous time of year the Holiday Season, as it consists of 3 holidays and not just one: Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's. (Those who celebrate Hannukah and Kwanzaa can make it 5) The way I see it, Happy Holidays and Season’s Greetings are just identical as Merry Christmas is.

Christmas was never supposed to be in the winter, but sometime in the spring. But there was no mistake in putting it where it is. It was pu there for the sole purpose of hiding behind the major Roman holiday, so that any christian celebration would not be noticed, as that would probably mean death.
