I am a christian, and I feel that Christmas is under attack at some levels.....but it isn't from saying Happy Holidays!  I've used that phrase for as long as I can remember. I say it to encompass both Christmas and New Years.  Goodness some people, on both sides of the spectrum must just get up everyday and look for things to fret about.

I think "attack" is a fairly strong word in this issue but, what is it that has changed in the last few years? There is no denying that many stores/companies have adopted a new approach of not mentioning Christmas, not saying or printing materials that express "Merry Christmas" and rather the new norm for them is Happy Holidays. Have these stores/companies just all at once come to the conclusion they were not being inclusive enough? Why is it now necessary for them to promote Happy Holidays over Merry Christmas? Has the demographics in this country largely shifted in favor of Jews, Kwanzaa celebrators, and/or the secular crowd? Was Merry Christmas really off putting to non-Christians?

Like I said, "attack" is too strong of a word and inaccurate IMO but there is and has been a definite movement to remove Christmas from the season. So please explain to me just what is causing this.

No there hasn't.

Christmas stuff/junk is sold in these same stores earlier than ever. Christmas music is played more and earlier than ever. There is more Christmas now than ever. The Christmas season is longer and more saturated than it ever has been. There is no attack or movement against Christmas.
