Merry Christmas, it's celebrated in way it another by virtually everyone in America, and saying happy holidays is just a cuck move.

You LITERALLY have a lower social score than me, and you're running around saying "cuck"? You aren't fooling anyone.

The relationship between someone's social PM score and their views on the Establishment vs. Trump question within the Republican Party is complicated at best, if there is a relationship at all.

I'd make happy holidays a hate crime.

Saying "Merry Christmas' comes across more naturally to me than the more politically correct version.

I remember back in 2005ish when we laughed at Bill O'Reilly claiming a 'war on Christmas'. Now it's actually a legitimate debate issue.

That relationship might hold true in terms of which Republicans did not vote for Trump, but it certainly does not hold true for GOP primary preferences (probably only Kasich primary supporters were less traditionally socially conservative than Trump ones).  In fact, most of my hardcore Trumpian friends would call themselves pro-life but don't want to use significant political capital fighting that issue if it could come at the expense of making a good meme.

Personally, the phony War On Christmas (aka the Merry Christmas v. Happy Holidays or other saying battle) is a waste of time.

If I had to pick between Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, I'd choose the former.

Lol at a debate being spurred on my usage of the word cuck.

I don't think I've ever heard somebody say Happy Holidays in my life

Never in your life?  Jesus H. Christ.  Don't you people have holidays over there?  I suppose you do, but they aren't meant to be happy.  Stiff upper lip.  Keep calm and carry on and all that.

Well, you really need to let loose.  Have a happy holiday, old top.  There, now you have heard it.  Or at least read it.  Try to enjoy yourself.  Here's a piano cover of Gym Class Heroes' stereo hearts.  If that doesn't put you in the holiday spirit, nothing will.  Well, except maybe a strong drink.  If you ever make to the other side of the atlantic ocean, I'll buy you a drink too.  Hang in there.  Just two more weeks, then we can just relax and have a happy holiday.  


We say "Merry Christmas".

We do have the legacy of right-wing nuts panicking about muhry Christmas though -

Which was of course reported as BIRMINGHAM BANS CHRISTMAS despite:
