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.

God created the Heavens,the Earth,the animals and people in his image.We are his creation and no fraudulently elected dictator has the right to tell anyone not to say Christmas.These liberals have issues with free speech.
Robert Fletcher The usual painting of Christ, showing him with long flowing hair, feminine features, and delicate hands, is a false one. According to my Bible, Jesus was a carpenter and a fisherman, spent a lot of time outdoors, and worked with his hands. Also, he wore his hair in the Roman fashion of the time, which was short. Jesus was a manly man, in any time. I am not sure when the depiction we commonly see became popular, but I believe it is wrong.
More government control. He has forgotten the rules of free speech…. His Muslim brothers must be so proud.
Merry Christmas to all our military people. You are loved by us thank you
