Gunny Bob suggested that everyone show up with a 'Merry Christmas' sign and sing all the traditional Christmas carols during the parade.
BIG signs with BIG, red letters.

That is an EXCELLENT idea ..
Should also print off a picture with the words Merry Christmas and tape it to the inside of your car window

I live in a city of 38,000 near Boston and a few years ago the Christmas parade (actually "Santa Parade") turned into the Holiday Parade (though Santa is in it). It's too late to do anything about it this year, but I suggested to a co-worker who also lives in my city that "next year, bring your kids and hold up huge signs saying "Merry Christmas".
The local cable access channel re-runs the parade
endlessly--wouldn't it be nice to have the camera
pan across the crowd, and there are the signs?
Fighting back pt 2: as you pay for your Christmas
purchases at the dept. (or grocery store), when
the cashier says "Happy Holidays" to you, respond
with "and a MERRY CHRISTMAS to you!" in a slightly
raised tone of voice. Maybe the folks behind you in
line will say, "You know, it's about time someone
put Christ back in Christmas!" Or maybe not.
ABSOLUTELY.
WITH MASSES OF VERY LOUD BUT WELL AND PEACEFULLY ORGANIZED CHRISTIANS.
AND TONS MORE WHO JUST DECIDED TO SHOW UP AT THE LAST MINUTE AND TO UNFURL PLACKARDS AND BANNERS HIDDEN IN THEIR COATS AS THEY WANDER DOWN THE PARADE ROUTE.
