War on Christmas: VA refuses to allow kids to send vets Merry Christmas cards...
If someone had told you 40 years ago this would happen, you wouldn't have believed it.
They thought it was a kind holiday gesture, but dozens of Prosper students didn't get to deliver the Christmas cards they made for local veterans because of a VA policy against specific religious cards and phrasing.[...]
Gracie and her brother, Luke, put a lot of thought and effort into their Christmas cards.
"It includes ‘Merry Christmas,' and when you open it up, it says 'Thank you for your service' and the American flag," said Luke.
Fifty-two students at Grace Academy in Prosper spent Friday making the cards they planned to hand deliver to bedridden veterans at the VA hospital in Dallas Monday morning.
When Gracie and Luke's mom, Andrea, found out they wouldn't be able to, she was outraged.
"This wasn't the country I grew up in, when you couldn't say ‘Merry Christmas,' you couldn't say ‘God bless you' or reference any scripture," she said.
The cards were the idea of Susan Chapman, a math teacher at Grace Academy. She's married to a veteran and volunteers with the American Legion and other veterans' organizations.
"It really didn't occur to me there would be a problem with distributing Christmas cards," said Chapman.
She didn't find out about the VA's holiday card policy until she called Monday morning to arrange details for the cards' delivery.
"I told him my students made cards, we'd like to bring them down for the veterans," said Chapman. "And he said, 'That's great. We're thrilled to have them, except the only thing is, we can't accept anything that says ‘Merry Christmas' or ‘God bless you' or any scriptural references because of all the red tape.'"

Guess what group least likes "Merry Christmas" greeting...
It's Democrats!
Via Washington Secrets:
Via Washington Secrets:
Take your “Happy Holidays” and shove it. Finally, there’s proof that Americans prefer “Merry Christmas.”
By a wide margin, 68 percent to 23 percent, Americans prefer stores with signs that say “Merry Christmas” during the Christmas holidays than the more generic and secular “Happy Holidays,” according to a new Rasmussen Reports survey.
A few examples:
– Among men, it’s 69 percent for “Merry Christmas,” compared to 22 percent for “Happy Holiday.”
– Women: 67 percent to 23 percent.
– Whites: 69 percent to 20 percent.
– Blacks: 56 percent to 40 percent.
– Republicans: 86 percent to 8 percent.
– Democrats: 51 percent to 41 percent.
