It's the Most Wonderful Time of Year: War on Christmas-Time
Last year's 4-part series on the history of the War on Christmas is now available to all subscribers for free.
Hello, and welcome to The Present Age’s December to Remember Happy Honda-Days uh… first post of December!
To start the month, I’ve unlocked last year’s series of posts I did about the “War on Christmas,” its not-so-shockingly antisemitic origins (see: Henry Ford), and why conservative media outlets push the “the left is trying to abolish Christmas!” narrative every single year.
You can find those (as well as some artificial intelligence-generated images of Santa fighting this war) below!

Love these “Santa goes to war images! If only I could get get them on Christmas… I mean holiday cards.
I do think one thing that has changed is the sheer level of victimhood that you find among white conservatives and evangelical Christians. Fox News pushes these stories because there’s a market for them.
I hear more and more ordinary people (generally older white and Christian) talking about it. In fact it’s rare to encounter a white Evangelical Christian who doesn’t at some point say they feel oppressed and discriminated against. They’re generally short on details of how this oppression actually happens but they seem to really believe it.
