  • Republicans and conservative Christians have dispensed with whining about a war on Christmas in anticipation of the second coming of their political savior.

The article discusses the decline of a conservative Christmas tradition known as the "War on Christmas," which was popularized by former President Donald Trump. This tradition involved conservatives, particularly Trump, claiming that there was an ongoing effort to secularize or diminish the religious aspects of Christmas, often citing the use of "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas" as evidence. Trump frequently boasted about bringing back "Merry Christmas" during his presidency, making it a rallying cry for his base. However, with Trump's 2024 win, this narrative has lost its potency. The article suggests that without Trump's active promotion, the "War on Christmas" has faded into the background, as other political and cultural battles have taken precedence, and the public's focus has shifted away from this particular cultural skirmish.
