Happy Holidays and Seasons Greetings have been used for an awfully long time in this country. It is ridiculous something as simple as saying Happy Holidays or Merry Chrismas has become a political litmus test.
And who made it thus? The PC crowd who are so determined not to offend certain subsets of our society that they ended up offending the mainstream. But who cares about that, right?
No, the “War on Christmas” was largely a ploy by the right, largely Fox News, to make conservative Christians feel threatened. Businesses have long preferred Holiday greetings to broaden appeal to all who celebrate this time of year. Municipalities have traditionally chosen to include all of their citizens in holiday celebrations as opposed to “most”. This has been done as long as I can remember... until now.
"Traditionally" since when?
The city of Memphis had menorahs, christmas trees, candles and seasons greetings signs up and down poplar for years... and still do.
