War on Christmas? Bah, Humbug

Did you know that the War on Christmas, the misbegotten movement to ban nativity scenes at City Hall and replace “Merry Christmas” with “Happy Holidays,” is in full retreat? The media are turning a blind eye to one of our most important cultural and Constitutional conflicts.Wal-Mart, the nation’s largest private employer, announced in November that the company ban on “Merry Christmas” is over. Employees don’t have to say “Happy Holidays” any more, and the retail giant is even showcasing Christmas in its catalogs. This was a very important story, but where were the media? North America has more than 1,400 newspapers, not to mention TV stations, cable channels, broadcast networks, and Web sites, but this great host of media organizations published only 64 articles on Wal-Mart’s new Christmas policy in the four days following the announcement.
