12. I worked at a grocery store where about 50% of our customers were Jewish
40% Christian, and 10% other. This was about 30 years ago while I was in high school and college, and I honestly don't remember either side shoving THEIR particular religious beliefs down the throats of other people by way of a religion-specific greeting. We all simply wished each other "happy holidays." No one was offended, no one was whining about a war on Christmas or a war on Hanukkah. No one threatened a boycott of the store.

But now 30 years later, there is a "war on Christmas"? Yeah, distract the stupid masses before they realize just how badly Bush has fucked them over.
