The ongoing cultural battle over Christmas has once again made headlines, highlighting the Democrats’ long-standing tendency to sidestep the holiday’s rich traditions in favor of a sanitized, politically correct version that makes everyone feel cozy—except, of course, for those who actually cherish Christmas. It’s as if you can’t tune into a holiday special on TV without also being inundated with displays of menorahs or the perplexing Kwanzaa celebratory symbols, which many argue is little more than a 1960s creation by a dubious character.
For years now, this subtle yet persistent war on Christmas has manifested itself through a disconcerting trend: the replacement of “Merry Christmas” with the bland “Happy Holidays.” This pivot seems to cater to the perpetually offended rather than honoring the cherished beliefs of a significant portion of the American populace. Conservatives have observed this trend as part of a broader leftist agenda intent on undermining the values and traditions that have built this nation.
However, the winds may be changing. The results of the 2024 election seem to indicate that voters are fed up with the rampant wokeness permeating every facet of society, especially during a season that should embody joy and tradition.
Proof of this shift presented itself recently when Jill Biden made an appearance at the White House’s annual Toys for Tots campaign. As this event unfolded, an unexpected and vocal rebuke arose from the last place anyone would expect—children. During her scripted speech, the First Lady opted for the usual leftist holiday greeting of “Happy Holidays,” only to be met with a chorus of youthful voices proclaiming “Happy Christmas!” and “Merry Christmas!” The children stood firm, determined not to let the traditional holiday greeting get tossed aside.

In an attempt to salvage the moment, Jill Biden quickly corrected herself, awkwardly conceding with a quick “Happy Christmas, yes.” For someone accustomed to tightly controlled environments, being publicly corrected by children over something as fundamental as saying “Merry Christmas” has to sting a bit. The kids’ responses were refreshingly honest, serving as a robust testament to the unapologetic pride in tradition that reverberates throughout the hearts of countless Americans.
While Jill Biden’s prepared remarks for Toys for Tots touched on love and gratitude toward military families, her avoidance of direct mention of Christmas stood out like a beacon. She could sing the praises of hot chocolate and presents, yet it wasn’t until the very end that she managed to squeeze in a perfunctory acknowledgment of Christmas among her festive platitudes. The subtle attempt to promote secular love over the rich narrative of Christmas itself proves just how entrenched the left’s “inclusive” agenda has become, leaving many to wonder if the true spirit of the holiday will ever receive the respect it warrants.
