yup, merrymaking, not a WASP thing (Dickens? an uncouth serialized pop writer not in "good taste.")

ICYMI from last year: "In colonial Massachusetts, between 1659 and 1681, Puritans banned Christmas. They expunged the day from their almanacs, and offending revelers risked a five-shilling fine." https://t.co/9riZ4MceJQ via @TheEconomist

P.S. I visualize someone like Margaret Dumont using "Happy Christmas" to express felicitations of the season, and clutching her pearls should she hear anyone say "Merry Christmas" in return:

Edit to add: furthermore, comes to mind that gentlemen do not brandish cigars while ladies are in the room!

Essay splaining how saying "Merry Christmas" instead of "Happy Christmas" would not actually be proper protection of WASP heritage culture (mainly, using "Merry" signified a pagan tradition, not to mention influence of uncouth Americans without much proper religion):

Of course black Santa thinks the mainstream media is nice. We'd get a whole different view if white Santa showed up.

In reply to Well black Santa would end up

White House press corps has a dark-skinned Santa, too, but then they have warped interpretations of naughty and nice and are the enemy of the people:

Well black Santa would end up on the no fly list but that's a good thing. When they TSA stops him from flying we can play the race card. And as Tucker explained a few days ago Hispanic Santa does make America dirty. But white Santa is a right jolly old elf.

No no no, Santa is a dirty

No no no, Santa is a dirty disheveled half-goat of unsure ethnicity who'd surely end up on a no-fly list carrying that bag w who knows what. (Though at least he wouldn't lose his talk sho w/o a fight, eh Megyn? well at least you and Bill O'Reilly have something in common)

In reply to Said Merry Christmas several

This is what I mean when I say a compromise by Obama seems like surrender. Here we are engaged in the most important fight of our time, The War On Christmas and Obama is giving out an inconsistent message by saying Merry Christmas. Sure, he's pretending to be a black Santa when everyone knows Santa is white. A clear win for our side, what white person will celebrate Xmas (ha ha) if Santa is black. Why does he have to ruin it by saying Merry Christmas? Thank ~~God~~ NBC for being on our side. Notice the headline. Obama delivers Holiday gifts.
