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.

Hey Obooboo- Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas to all!
Christmas is to celebrate the birth of Christ. Anyone who says otherwise is a moron. The only ones who take it offensively don’t believe in Christ. And for the people that voted for Obama I hope you people are proud of yourselves, your all dumbasses
Mr. President why can’t they say Christmas
