President Donald Trump wanted to make America say “Merry Christmas” again. And, if you ask him, he succeeded.

He celebrated his achievement during a recent rally in Georgia, after sharing the seasonal greeting with the crowd.

“Remember we started five years ago, and I said, ‘You’re going to be saying Christmas again.’ We say it proudly again,” he said at the Dec. 5 event, according to Business Insider.

Every place, every store has been saying Merry Christmas...and that's the way it should be. I have Jewish friends...it doesn't offend them.

Atheists...they need to be taught tolerance.

In my local newspaper I saw a picture of children from a nursery school with their teachers sitting around a Christmas tree, only it was called a “giving tree”!

I guess Christmas is a dirty word now.

Giving tree is usually a deliberate effort at charity. Wherein kids (or, gulp, dogs) have wishes on the tree that people take to fulfill.

Very positive article from the Mormon Church owned newspaper. They get a lot of hostility here, but if Catholics and mainline Protestants voted like them, Joe Biden would barely have cracked 3/8th of the vote nationwide.

Come to think of it, I have not heard any slug wish me or any one else “Happy Holidays.” Always Merry Christmas. Thank God.

Why do you say that? Their boy Mitt Romney is just as much of a corrupt scumbag as Biden, and they voted him in.

Seems like there are lots more houses with Christmas lights in my town. And more elaborate, too.
