I am so tired of the fake War on Christmas that Fox News continues to foist on the uneducated viewers of it's alleged news.
If we want to celebrate a "traditional American Christmas" like our founding fathers, then we should go to work on Christmas Day just like any other day. In fact when the pilgrims came to America, they did not celebrate Christmas, it was considered too decadent. The holiday was actually outlawed in Boston until 1681 and was punishable by a fine. After the Revolution, congress was even in session in 1789 on Christmas day.
It remained a little noticed holiday until it was made a federal holiday in 1870.
So to the Fox idiots, Merry Christmas, the War on Christmas was won on June 26, 1870 when Congress passed the law making it a federal holiday. Now go out and SHOP!
