You may remember some years back there were attacks on Christmas by secular-progressives that went like this: “we don’t believe in Jesus and don’t want to see him and his parents displayed on public property. And we may sue if that happens. In addition, we don’t even want to hear the words ‘Merry Christmas,’ so don’t be saying them in places of business. Like stores where people buy Christmas presents. We’ll have none of that!”
Incredibly, some bosses actually ordered employees not to say “Merry Christmas.” It would be “Happy Holidays” or else.
Enter me, your humble correspondent, who found that bit of fascism very offensive. Also, a blatant violation of the First Amendment. If I want to say Merry Christmas while handing out burgers at the drive-through window, I’ll damn well say it.
