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:

Sorry, I just don’t want to spend any more time fact checking all the goofy statements made on facebook.
No, thanks obama
If I was on the military and couldn’t say Christmas then I would get out.
This is absolutey false and just another lie.
I can’t figure out why Obama is still in office, why he hasn’t been impeached. He is not american and his plan is to do what he can to tear this country down before he leaves office. We have dismissed presidents for doing less, little petty c**p compared to what he has done. Yet he’s still here
I can’t wait until our Muslim in Chief is out of office!
