On the Hannity show tonight, Trump thug Corey Lewandowski gloated, “You can say again, ‘Merry Christmas’ because Donald Trump is now the president.” Fox News loved that quote so much the network tweeted it out.
Lewandowski was celebrating the “great Christmas” we’re all going to have now that Trump has been elected. “Which you can say again because Donald Trump is now the president. You can say it again. It’s OK to say. It’s not a pejorative word any more.”
Sean Hannity laughed maliciously off camera.

And just when was it a pejorative word? Certainly not under President Obama:
From the Obama family to yours, Merry Christmas! And a special thank you to all our men and women in uniform this holiday season.
— President Obama (@POTUS) December 25, 2015
But look who has used “Happy holidays.”
@shanesgranny Thanks and Happy Holidays.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 27, 2012
@jaimeennis @examinercom Thanks Jaime, Happy Holidays
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 21, 2012

Christmas is Dec. 25. I start saying Merry Christmas on Dec. 24. Until then I say Happy Holidays since I don’t know the beliefs of the person to whom I am speaking.

If Fox News was truly sincere about this then they wouldn’t accept advertising from manufactures who don’t include Merry Christmas to sponsor their programming.
This is one of their longest running gags to create outrage with their viewers, and it works.
If anyone gives me a friendly greeting of any religious belief, I will return their kindness. It’s only accomplished making people afraid to wish anyone a Season Greetings (can I say that?) without the fear of being nauseated with a speech of how offended they are that we didn’t greet them with their beliefs.
And they call us politically correct.

In Trump’s ’merica not only can you say “Merry Christmas” again, but you can also freely sneer it at anyone who fails to utter it at the appropriate time. You can also bark a “Merry Christmas” at anyone using the abhorrent “Happy Holidays,” while adding any hand jestures you feel are warranted. Spreading Trumpian Correctness is more important than the actual meaning of the day, right, rig

From Jan Hall’s comment:
“Whatever happened to Gen. Junior O’Reilly? Was he relieved of his command?”
No, not quite Jan. Since you mentioned Gen. O’Lielly, it’s time for me to once again post that parody of the classic holiday tune “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas” — it’s called “Have Yourself A Bill O’Reilly Christmas”:
Have yourself a Bill O’Reilly Christmas,
On your facts be light,
Bill O’s here and all the booze is out of sight,
Have yourself a Bill O’Reilly Christmas,
Bash the weak and gays,
Bill O’s here and all the booze has gone astray,
There we were in olden days,
Happy long lost days before
Rush Limbaugh came on the tube,
Now we’re fed up with the bore,
Though his show seems to go on forever,
Like a drunkard’s row,
Hang your i-Pod high upon the highest bough,
And have yourself a Bill O’Reilly Christmas now.
:^)

From Kevin Koster’s comment:
“Scut Farkus lives”
Yes indeed Kevin — unless, of course, we beat the s**t out of him again Ralphie-style or “shoot his eye out”!
;^)
(sorry mods — I just HAD to get that in!)

President-Elect Donald T. Rump, named Time Magazine Man Of The Year. The second Hitler to win that award, but the first Orange one. So Mr. Rump has won the 2017 War on Christmas. Whatever happened to Gen. Junior O’Reilly? Was he relieved of his command?

Yet another example of an early start to The Year of The Bully.
It’s a Merry Christmas to these guys because they’re dreaming of how they’ll be able to erase the entire Obama presidency in a couple of days in mid-January, and then kick the sand in everyone’s faces. Scut Farkus lives.
