The War on Christmas
Liberals and conservatives battle over whether or not the Christmas season should continue to focus heavily on the Christian aspects of the holiday, with some liberals believing that Christmas is a state-enforced religious holiday. Many of the advocates petition stores to greet their customers with, "Merry Christmas," during the holidays, rather than "Happy Holidays!" Another major issue that is debated is whether or not nativity scenes and Christian-themed holiday decorations should be allowed on public display.Defend Christmas: The War Against the War Against Christmas
