The Obama administration has directed the military to not allow personnel to say “Christmas”, in spite of the holiday’s status as a federally-recognized holiday.
The reason given by armed forces officials is that not everyone celebrates Christmas and that out of respect for them, military members should refer to Christmas celebrations simply as “holiday”-themed festivities.
This prohibition comes in the context of a wider push for political correctness in society in general and the military in particular, as evidenced by the recent reprimanding of Navy Chaplain Wes Modder for simply discussing religion, as chaplains are wont to do, with military personnel.

What an A$$ he is.
Mostly because it’s not true.
Don’t you all get it yet? He is doing every thing he can to drag America down and the God we trust in! You better make the next vote count if you want to get back in a better place.
Freedom of speech!
How can he? Isn’t he on another vacation in Hawaii?
Look, I can understand some people falling for this with some of the things this man has come up with before. He leans far for the Muslims and hardly anything for the Christians. So it would not be surprising at all to see you that he came out with an order like this!
Might want to fact check this one. May have come from satire site
No surprise there.
Saw the President and FLOTUS start out the weekly address from the White House with “Merry Christmas Everybody ” . Courtmartial him. He disobeyed his own order.
