About
The War on Christmas is a supposedly deliberate campaign to eliminate the holiday of Christmas from public life. It appears to refer to any attempt to be egalitarian and not offend members of religions that aren't Christianity, taking completely unnecessary offense at the idea of applying inclusionism to what is now largely a secular (albeit somewhat offensively consumption-oriented) celebration.
Defining this inclusionism as some kind of "war" on that into which one is trying to include others is logically absurd, and clearly an attempt at demonization.

: "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- RationalWiki
