There is no war on Christmas as far as I know. So I’m going to guess it’s another dumb American thing?
I live in Denmark, and while the celebration is absolutely christianised, it’s sill called “Juletide” here. “Yule” or “Yule-tide” in English. Which refers to the original winter celebration before it got subjugated.
You have to remember, a lot of American Christians are descended from European Christians who were so extreme and weird that no one wanted them around, so they fled to the Americas to escape “persecution.” So, these Christian persecution complexes go way back. They’re a part of our history. Well, not all of ours, but some.
I saw a message under a German post about how you can’t call it a “Weihnachtsmarkt” anymore. But I think that might have been a bot, because it’s pretty damn obvious that that’s bullshit.

Yes, it’s an annual tradition at this point.
