32. Yes there is, and it all started with Bing Crosby

This whole "War on Christmas" idea started with the observation that many retailers had replaced the phrase, "Merry Christmas" with "Happy Holidays" in order to include those horrible people who dare to recognize other religions. The nerve!

This insidious phrase , "Happy Holidays" first gained popularity in the song and movie, "Holiday Inn" starring Bing Crosby. Since then, it's spread like a virus, until it threatens our very sense of entitlement!

It was Bing! Bing Crosby is Anti-Christmas!
