The War on Christmas has taken on more subtle, yet even more insidious forms this year. In past years, the tactics used in the War on Christmas have been more overt, in-your-face, even sometimes downright obnoxious.
This year, for the most part, the tactics have changed to much more subtle and gradual "erasing" of the signs of Christmas from the public space. Not just governments, but private businesses in general are simply not decorating public places to the extent they used to. Places that used to be elaborately decorated for the holidays are either much more downscaled in their displays or simply aren't putting anything up at all.
The War on Christmas hasn't gone away, its gone underground with much more pernicious effects. The long term goal, of course, is to force Christmas into the home, with the blinds pulled, and then gradually it will fade into oblivion entirely.
