The whole "War on Christmas" thing is a joke. Just a joke. It's a blatantly pagan holiday with pagan trappings (the tree is a glaring example) that was "Christanized" like a great deal of pagan culture during the first centuries of the Catholic Church, was generally widely ignored by Protestant groups until the 19th century and as a federal holiday is now, for the most part in America, a secular event.

But maybe that's what they're really complaining about, people not acknowledging the official High Holy Day of the Church of the Consumer.
