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:

That’s what I figured. But when folks live in the echo chamber of their choice, they believe what they want. Thanks for finding that Dave.
None of this is true. You people are all fools and exactly what is wrong with our county.

Why do people actually believe this garbage?
Wake up, people. You are being conned to try to fuel hatred for Obama!

This is so not true. Do you believe everything you read or do you ever check its validity?
