ballscaster, you often make some intriguing, thought-provoking points. But you sometimes gloss over some pretty important facts on the way to your conclusion.

1) I agree with you, "war on ___" is an overused term.

2) Of course a fair amount of what has happened with "Christmas" as a term is due to marketing and sales decisions.

However, if you are ignoring the hostile attitude that has infected portions of our society towards belief in God, Christianity, "Christmas" as a term, and so on, including some fearful (or hateful) marketing execs... I mean, please dude... you are WAY off here.

I live in a supposed hotbed of what you're talking about and have never encountered it. New York probably even has the most iconic Christmas tree in the country, as well as the most famous annual parade, which always features Santa Claus. I've known more Jews who celebrate Christmas than Jews who don't. The "war on Christmas" is nothing more than the result of a bunch of people who proliferate toward victimhood letting their tvs take them for a ride.

But what would I know about the war on Christmas? I've only lived behind enemy lines for more than 10 years.
