No Virginia, there was never a War on Christmas.
The objective facts are no, people have not warred on the holiday. What some misguided people object to is the stating of neutral phrases like "Seasons Greetings" and "Happy Holidays" this time of year. In a multicultural nation such as ours where a significant portion are not Christian, this is a perfectly sensible thing to say. What these people (who probably do not realize that December 25 is not the actual birthday of Joshua ben Joseph (Jesus Christ for those who need the Greek translation)) should fight is the war on mainstream Christian (and universal) values from the likes of the extreme elements of the Republican Party led by our President against the all those that can not fight for themselves. That is the war that should be fought. It should not be fought according to how many times you said "Merry Christmas" every December.
