Holidays of other faiths are more likely ignored rather than attacked but supporters of other faiths are also more likely made to feel unwanted regardless of the time of the year.

Happy Holidays, Season’s greetings, Hanukkah, the winter solstice, Yule tide, , or Saturnalia from Dec. 17th to the 25th to celebrate the birth of a new year, or X-mas.
X-Mas–From black Friday (after thanksgiving) till everyone runs out of money or out of credit. X-mas is a commercial unholyday that celebrates greed.
So, do you really think Christian Holidays are under attack or just forgotten? Christians themselves suffer from attack, but the holidays–maybe they are beneficial to the consumer economy (sark) , but of little use in promoting religion.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, whatever your pursuasion.
The anti-religious Progressives ignore and try to dismiss and hide any connection to religion, especially at this time of year. But they have targeted that little baby born in Bethlehem the most.
But we believers take joy from the gift of our father in Heaven- and they can’t take that away from us.

I’m not sure they really are under attack except on social media. I have met no one who does not say merry christmas, happy Hanukkah or any other holiday greeting. I think they are only being attacked because we take the social media bait. MHO only.

We do not celebrate Christmas, Halloween or Easter and do not have a problem with people saying Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas because Hanukkah is so close to Christmas time that to say Happy Holidays includes those who are celebrating it around the same time and are more likely to feel included. Do I believe that there are more attacks on Christmas gatherings/events … Yes, because more people observe and gather for it, making them larger targets. I also do not like the birth of our Messiah being used as a reason for sales/marketing, especially for stores such as Victoria Secrets, Spencer’s, anti-God products, etc… I don’t think He would like it either. He would most likely say leave my name out of that mess.

Christmas is about a savior sent to us by God , and is indeed God himself, to save us from our sins. We couldn’t help or save ourselves from going into hell a place of eternal suffering. So God wanted to provide us with the help we need. That thought seems to be lost but is still the message and end for everyone. Believe it, live it, propagate it or be bound to the ungodly way of the world forever. The serpent and his followers are trying to destroy God;s natural law and order and commandments and bring all to a bad end. Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year.

Chistmas, as a part of the Christian religion has been under attack for centuries. And it’s biggest prosecutor has been the followers of the Islamic belief. While I’m Agnostic, I don’t have a dog in this fight, but I do believe in the tenants of Christion ideals. I also believe that followers of the Islamic faith will exact their Sharea justice on all “infidels” regardless of religious orientation, and that is a threat to us all.

I think you find more ‘attacks’ in the ‘lunatic fringe’ of the country than in the heartland–in general. The leftist media tends to make a big deal out of stories about attacks while disregarding all the good things happening all around the country.

Christianity is under Attack, as it has been for 2018 Years, since JESUS was Born, Lived, Died and Rose From the Dead, Defeating satan’s Kingdom of Darkness. The only Difference now is, we are Closer to Christ’s Second Coming and the Spiritual Warfare in Heavenly Places and here on Earth are becoming more Intense. But as JESUS said, “Upon this Rock, I Will Build MY Church and The Gates of Hell Shall NOT Prevail Against it.” Matthew 16:18 Glory Be To GOD and HIS Unspeakable Gift, HIS Son JESUS Christ Forever! Hallelu-YAHWEH and Merry CHRIST-mas!

I see some improvement since President Trump took office, but there is still too much attack against Christian holidays and everything else Christian. It’s our fault. We spend our time complaining, but every time we complain we should in the same day be sure to witness our faith openly to others. If we Christians don’t, no one will. If our faith is important to us, we should tell others. Wake up American Christians. Don’t talk about what “they” are doing, tell what God is doing–especially what He has already done and continues to do for you.

Not only is the Christian faith being asailed by multiple non Christians, laws are being passed to punish those who believe in objective truths a subjective truths revealed by God in HIS scripture on God given moralities. This causing people to loose jobs and livelyhoods! Christians can no longer stand by as lambs for the slaughter. We must fight back with every ounce of our strength.

Be bold wish the Muslim, the Democrat, the gay person a “Merry Christmas.” We don’t have a spirit of timidity as Paul writes to Timothy.

I am now a born again Christian and our family is free to celebrate with as much emphasis on the birth of Christ as we desire.
