Overview
The War on Christmas is a supposedly deliberate campaign to eliminate the holiday of Christmas from public life. It appears to have started as an attempt to be egalitarian and not offend members of religions other than Christianity. However, as the holiday has largely become secular (albeit somewhat offensively consumption-oriented), this has been taken to unnecessary extremes.
If the goal is to avoid promoting one religion over the others, then all that is really necessary is to avoid mentioning the religious elements of Christmas, and focus on the popular secular elements.

: "In recent years, the celebration of Christmas has become part of the "culture wars." Fox News analysts John Gibson and Bill O'Reilly claim that Christmas has come under attack by "liberals." Some Christian conservatives want an increased recognition of the religious core of the holiday, and want to maintain a separation between Christmas and other holidays occurring at the same time of year." dKosopediano article as of 2007-12-01 (though some references to the controversy)SourceWatchno article as of 2007-12-01
