The War On Christmas is a well organized liberal attack on the American institution of Christmas. It was begun in 2005 by the Liberal media and many large corporations, who frequently eschewed the word 'Christmas' in their coverage and advertisements. One retailer, Target Stores, went so far as to describe sales on 'Holiday Trees' and 'Holiday Lights'. This is in spite of having Tube Socks at bargain prices.

- During the Christmas Truce of 1914, in World War One, Ebenezer Scrooge served on the front lines. Angered by the peace and goodwill exhibited and blatant favoritism shown towards a religion by these soldiers, he was forever scarred. Scrooge would for years reject these ideas, eventually becoming an owner of many large stores. Although he enjoyed the large profits made during Christmas time, the message behind it made him sick, and rightly so, morals might in fact offend someone. Displeased with people who cheerily said 'Merry Christmas!' to one another, he would angrily yell 'Bah Humbug!' back to them. But he knew someday, he would find a better response to such madness than a clichéd two word phrase.
- Years ago, an earlier group of conservative Christians objected to the use of the abbreviation X-mas for Christmas. This earlier war on Christmas movement sputtered out when it was discovered that the X in X-mass was actually the Latin letter Chi (the first letter in the name of Christ) and had been used either alone or with the Latin letter Rho (the second letter in the name of Christ) as abbreviations for Christ for over a M (the abbreviation for millenium, another Latin word).
