The Obama administration has directed the military to not allow personnel to say “Christmas”, in spite of the holiday’s status as a federally-recognized holiday.
The reason given by armed forces officials is that not everyone celebrates Christmas and that out of respect for them, military members should refer to Christmas celebrations simply as “holiday”-themed festivities.
This prohibition comes in the context of a wider push for political correctness in society in general and the military in particular, as evidenced by the recent reprimanding of Navy Chaplain Wes Modder for simply discussing religion, as chaplains are wont to do, with military personnel.
See how servicemen have reacted to not being allowed to say Christmas at the link below:

Been saying Chtistmas for 400 years and you with your pen wont stop it .
Only the simple in the mind would allow some idiot to write on a piece of paper and tell you that you don’t have the right to free thinking.
Merry Christmas will stay in this country and we will remove the infiltrators and traitors

Merry Christmas Obama, Are Veteran’s allowed to say it? O, Merry Christmas. In Christ, died on the Cross for me.
Screw that pos, whether he likes it or not, it is Christmas, and the majority of the country feels that way. Please, someone get this treasonous, traitor, useless moslum out of office.
