Trump vowed to get rid of 'Happy holidays'

[Hotler]

There are two words that, when combined, President Donald Trump seems to hate more than any others in the English language. "Happy holidays."

I suggest flooding the WH and repug offices with wonderful Happy Holiday cards, tis the season and all. Sign them; Thoughts and Prayers.
It's the little things that count when thinking of others.

Edit to add. The phrase Happy Holidays is like nails on a chalkboard to the repugs.

1. Whatever happened to that stupid Merry Christmas thing

that was like his top priority???

[Takket]

4. He said he fixed it

And I’ve seen MAGAts saying they are celebrating because they can say Merry Christmas again.

To my knowledge there has been no policy put in place “allowing” people to say merry Christmas. Nor was there ever a policy put in place to stop people from saying it that drumpf removed.

3. Fuck Xmas

& the Trumps

5. He doesn't hate them, he uses them to manipulate his base. If everyone sends him cards,

he'll just assume it means people love him.

If you want to make someone mad, wish Happy Holidays to any MAGat that you know.

6. Who Gives Fuck 'Boud Kreestmas?!?

I don't care do you?

Besides we are busy fighting the new war on thanksgiving, can't spare troops for x-mas at the moment!

7. I'd say he succeeded in making Thanksgiving an unhappy holiday.

Christmas will likely follow as we bury all of the Thanksgiving COVID massacre dead.

15. That was my thought as well

He certainly has contributed "bigly" to getting rid of "happy holidays", at least for this year.

8. The thing is...

Holiday is a form of the words holy day.

9. "Happy Holidays" has always been written as a plural phrase

In 37 days we have the Holidays of Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas, and New Years. When making a simple courteous greeting it is a simple non confrontational manner to state the all inclusive “Happy Holidays”. Unless it is someone that you see daily or weekly and have the opportunity to give greetings of a singular holiday, why not include all of them? Also using “Holidays” eliminates the awkward need to make religious snap judgements on whether the greeted celebrates which of the religious celebrations and in the spirit of civility and kindness we postpone the next religious war a few more days, then include New Years as the cherry on top, which is day everyone recognizes.
I find the entire debate about a simple greeting meant to be an act of kindness despite the wording used, and a small effort, even to strangers that I have never met that I not appear to be a self righteous Ass like the president of the United States.

12. Not only that, but even if you are a "Christian" there are a number of other minor

holidays starting in late Nov/early December starting with the beginning of the Advent season and then there are a number of feast days (Immaculate Conception, St. Nicholas, etc.), special masses and other holidays depending upon which Christian denomination you belong to.

So actually, "Happy Holidays" is the appropriate and polite greeting from Thanksgiving through New Year's Day for just about everyone. I only say "Merry Christmas" if it is actually Christmas Eve or Christmas Day and I am certain that the person celebrates Christmas. Otherwise, it just doesn't seem appropriate.

14. Correct! And for anyone who wishes to criticize my greeting ...

...will likely get a non-Christian suggestion in return.

10. Just occurred to me heres a campaign promise he kept...

He got rid of pretty much all happy days... 🙁

11. NOBODY CARES!!!

Seriously, I couldn't give less of a shit what the greeter in the store says when it's Christmas time. God these idiots fight the pettiest battles don't they?

[Wounded Bear]

13. Given the state of the country, I guess he succeeded...

Not sure how many people will be "happy" this Holiday Season, no matter what the clerks say in greeting.
