Did President Bush say Merry Christmas or happy holidays in his Christmas cards?

Donald Trump is making a big deal about bringing Merry Christmas back to his Christmas cards. I am glad that he is. I'm curious if anyone knows if Bush W or Bush Senior use the words Merry Christmas or happy holidays on on their Christmas cards each year?

It’s been how long ago, and you ask that NOW???

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Actually neither. Bush said ¡Feliz Navidad!

I could go dig them out and check, but I remember that most of them contained a Bible verse, or a Proverb, and a view of the White House with, or without, Barney.

I “think” they said Happy Holidays......but not positive on that one.

Here’s one of them: https://georgewbush-whitehouse.archives.gov/president/holiday/cards/02.html

2003 Holiday Season

2004 Happy Holidays

2005 Happy Holiday Season

2006 Very generic statement. No specific greeting.

2007 Blessed Season

My wife had them in a specific location in the computer room, and brought them all out to read to me as I typed.

2008 Holiday Season

I have all of the cards, but they are in a bag of other souvenirs at the back of my closet. I don’t think I’ll bother digging them out, after all.

The Bush years seem as long ago as the Reagan years.
Everything changed after Obama.
Half the country was rhetorically razzed and slapped in the face by Team Obola every single day, year in year out.

I just checked every card they sent from 2001-2008, and none of them ever said Merry Christmas. They always quoted scripture, but always used the words holiday season.

If you had really wanted to know, you could have done the search yourself, but I took the part of the illegal alien here, and did the job you didn't feel like doing.

A family of assassins and satanic globalists. How nice.

I just happened to save these cards from President Bush:

Christmas 2002: “May love and peace fill your heart and home during this holiday season and throughout the new year”

Christmas 2003: May you celebrate the joys of faith, family and friendship this holiday season and always.

Christmas 2004: May songs of joy fill your home with happiness this holiday season.

Christmas 2005: With best wishes for a holiday season of hope and happiness.

Bible verse included in each.

We haven't laughed this hard since VE day.

I did a search, and I could only find it for one year.

"I did a search, and I could only find it for one year."

That's because you're a guy. Women are just more thorough when it comes to this kind of stuff.

I forget. The first Christmas after GWB took office, he and Laura sent my wife and I the official card. In the spirit of 9/11/2001, we agreed that she should put it up on Ebay where it sold for just under $30.
