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:

Look it up. Do research. This post is another Facebook lie.

Marry Christmas
Roxanna, you can’t even spell merry. Say Christmas all you want but don’t spread those lies of God and religion to the world. Keep your delusions to yourself
So I hit the wrong key but the meaning is still there, Merry Christmas is that better and its people like you that have delusions. May God Bless you and your family.
If this is true…. I am more disappointed in Obama than I have ever been! As soon as I think he can’t get any worse, he finds a way to do it! Unbelievable!
