Nope, I mean the governments step in to ban misuse of Christmas and other holidays, and require organizations, businesses, municipalities and other groups to say “Christmas” (or other holiday names), and not “Holidays” or other generic terms.

If you are being serious, there's this thing, we call it the Consitution of the United States. Maybe you should read it sometime. Check out the parts about freedom of speech and freedom of religion. They are very enlightening. You'll learn that it's not the government's job to force people to say "Merry Christmas" instead of "Happy Holidays".

And if anybody gets out of line and violates the new "Christmas Speech" laws, its off to the penitentiary.

So watch your step out there. Spend some time reading the statutes. And remember, if you're an "organization, business or municipality," saying nothing is not an option. The new laws "require organizations, businesses, municipalities and other groups to say 'Christmas.'" (And don't think that doesn't include you, Herb Shwartz, and all those heathen buddies of yours down in the garment district.)

Oh, and some advice for individuals unassociated with "organizations, businesses, and municipalities" -- when in doubt, just shut up. And don't make eye contact.

So Happy Holidays everybo.... Oh crap. See you in five years.

Ouch!

You just trashed Freedom of Religion, Freedom of speech, the Establishment Clause all in one suggestion!
