"HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!" This is an inclusive greeting that covers all the world's people that practice religions that celebrate a Winter solstice holiday and even people who prefer not to.

On a happy note the OP is on vacation now, making the world smile.

No, he isn't, and Anandtech is worse for it. :(

The lack of truth in your last sentence destroyed my Christmas spirit.

I would vote to cancel Christmas holidays and have to work more if it had the side effect of annoying you.

We return to our annual fringe whack delusion about the so-called War on Christmas & the wearing of the perpetual mantle of faux victimhood.

It's pathetic and the pundits of the right who prey upon it for ratings are disgusting. That means you, Bill O'Reilly.

Yep, there they go again.... keep flogging that horse...

There's a nip in the air. Couples bundle against the cold. It must be time for the "war on Christmas."

Like the changing of the weather, the war on Christmas arrives each year a few weeks before Dec. 25. Conservatives take to the airwaves to denounce schools, parks and businesses that have replaced Christmas rituals and decorations with generic "holiday" ones.

And this year's battle features a familiar face: former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin. In a new book, "Good Tidings and Great Joy: Protecting the Heart of Christmas," Palin rages at "angry atheists" who are allegedly threatening it.

"Amidst the fragility of this politically correct era it is imperative that we stand up for our beliefs," Palin writes, in a press release for the book. "The war on Christmas is the tip of the spear in a larger battle to secularize our culture."

The word holiday comes from the Old English word hāligdæg (hālig "holy" + dæg "day").[1] The word originally referred only to special religious days. In modern use, it means any special day of rest or relaxation, as opposed to normal days away from work or school

let me bold this for the fucktards who think there's a 'war on Christmas/Christians/etc' The word originally referred only to special religious days
Now can we please shut the fuck up about this once and for all?
