FOR YEARS, YOU HAVE BEEN LIED TO. The insidious, corporate-approved phrase “Happy Holidays” isn’t a gesture of peace—it’s a CULTURAL ERASER. This December, the war on Christmas is exposed as a front for a DEEPER, more sinister campaign: a war on ALL specific faith and identity, led by woke marketing and cowardly compromise.
SHOCKINGLY, the ancient story of Hanukkah—a brutal fight against forced assimilation—is now the STRONGEST argument for saying “Merry Christmas.” A Jewish writer reveals the TRUTH: “Happy Holidays” is a SPIRITUAL SURRENDER. It strips meaning, reduces sacred traditions to bland, consumer-friendly nothings, and DESTROYS genuine human connection.
This isn’t about inclusivity; it’s about ASSIMILATION. The word “holiday” itself means “holy day,” yet we’ve allowed it to be hollowed out. Every time you utter “Happy Holidays,” you PARTICIPATE in the very cultural dilution the Maccabees fought and DIED to prevent. They REFUSED to change their names, their practices, their identity. Today, we change our words to avoid a moment of simple, brave recognition.
This is a DIRECT assault on the foundations of our society. Retailers and media elites PUSH the generic greeting to turn sacred seasons into a meaningless shopping spree. By refusing to say “Merry Christmas” or “Happy Hanukkah,” you are letting commerce and fear VANDALIZE your heritage and your neighbor’s.
THE UNCOMFORTABLE REALITY? “Happy Holidays” doesn’t make anyone feel included. It makes them feel INVISIBLE. It is a phrase of avoidance, not respect. True connection requires the courage to acknowledge difference, to honor another’s joy without appropriating it. The generic greeting is a gateway to a world where ALL traditions are blurred into a SINGLE, soulless gray.
This season, the choice is stark: you can stand with the Maccabees and proudly proclaim specific joy, or you can side with the forces of erasure. The time for polite fictions is OVER. We must SHATTER the silent conspiracy of “Happy Holidays” before it consumes what little authenticity we have left. Your next greeting isn’t just words—it’s a declaration of WAR for the soul of civilization.
