New Hampshire Republican voters checking their mailboxes may have come across a letter from a peculiar sender: Donald J. Trump.
Trump, the leading Republican presidential candidate, sent a Christmas card to every registered New Hampshire Republican, The Washington Post's Ed O'Keefe reports.
On the outside, the card bears a photo of Trump giving a thumbs-up while wearing his "Make America Great Again" hat. On the inside, it includes a message of love this holiday season.

I personally have no problem with Happy Holidays. Especially if you don’t know the person. Also the cards may not arrive before Christmas so they can cover New Year as well.
It is simpler than than issuing multiple greetings for different holidays.
I got my Christmas card from Trump today, and I don’t live in New Hampshire.
What about all the people who don’t celebrate Christmas? Should they be excluded? I declare, some of you guys just can’t be happy, no matter what.
My bet is he is sending them to anybody who donated at https://www.donaldjtrump.com/.
Merry Christmas, Donald Trump!
I didn't think you Trumpers would.
Which is no doubt why retailers tend to go with that phrase. But to hear Trump in Iowa not too long ago you would think that "Happy Holidays" was a slap in the face to "real" Christians like himself and he said that he wouldn't stand for it when he was president.
Also the cards may not arrive before Christmas so they can cover New Year as well.
So does saying "Happy New Year". What's wrong with that?
It is simpler than than issuing multiple greetings for different holidays.
So why are all the ire against stores that used it? To hear O'Reilly and Hannity and Limbaugh and Trump it was the end of Christmas, and possibly Christianity, as we know it.
I think he sent them to people who donated or purchased on his website - possibly also people who got tickets to his rallies.
Culture, third leg of the Savage, Borders, Language Culture.
Trump's 1st whack at culture was about immigration of certain individuals, but this move was very subtle. Let us bring back Merry Christmas and give the Italian Salute to the PC crowd and get a buzz about it on FR and my guess is next week on Conservative Talks Shows.
Flippin' brilliant...
When he sent the cards Hannakah was still going on, He covered Christians and Jews with that greeting I think I got on via e-mail.
Excellent. Now STFU.
BTW, Go Cruz!!!
You, like the gopE, lookin for Hillary!
Lessee whatchu got... bring it loud mouth.
Nice to hear that Trump is sending Christmas cards.
Those who live to find fault, will reliably do so.
Which saddens the consultants, who get a cut of ad buys.
I understand the point you make in your posts, but I think you are really obfuscating the real issue here. There has been a concerted effort among some to do away with the words, “Merry Christmas” or any public mention of Christmas. Whether one wants to add to “Merry Christmas” the words “and Happy Holidays” in order to include Jews and others is not really worth debating about since that’s not what’s coming under attack and it’s not perceived by most as controversial.
Trump did what progressives would call “transgressive”—he used the un-PC term “Merry Christmas.” He did not just say, “Happy Holidays.” Why not acknowledge other holidays too once he’s taken the bold step of specifically mentioning Christmas? That does not negate his use of “Merry Christmas” first and foremost. It just makes it less likely that Jews and others will feel excluded in an unsolicited card sent specifically to them at their homes (which is, after all, different from a public store they chose to go into).
You are an unmitigated douche.
Your TDS is disgusting.
Burn in hell J-OFF
I got another heartfelt letter from Cruz yesterday begging for more money.
Waitin ...
Good for you. Patience is a virtue. But...waitin' on what?
