Harvey Korman has the answer.

Ask any American who's been unemployed for nine months this year thanks to our "steadily rising" economy how merry their Christmas will be.
Or ask one of the thousands who found out this summer just how little their government cares about their safety, when their incompetent and callous president deserted them for days and days in a horrific flood, as corpses floated by in a river of filth and vandals had their way with the town. Those who were lucky enough to survive had little or nothing to return to. Now the cameras are off and the whole episode has faded predictably from the public mind. But somewhere countless families are struggling merely to put their lives back together, many so poor they could not have afforded cars to escape the storm that displaced them. How plentiful do you think their Christmas celebrations will be this year?
Or ask a soldier whose tour of duty has been extended indefinitely thanks to quasi-legal "stop-gap" policies so that a group of powerful men who never served can continue their power grab / geopolitical experiment. What a lovely gift.
Or, more importantly, why don't we ask the thousands of parents, husbands, wives, sons, daughters, and best friends who won't spend this Christmas with someone they love. Or, for that matter, any other Christmas. Ever. Because that person died by bullet or bomb, thousands of miles away, in a place they should never have been sent. Every kid who was deprived of a parent will grow up knowing that other more fortunate kids weren't. Those kids' parents had the luxury of "other priorities."
Now ask any of these people if they give a damn about what the BUSHES put on their STUPID HOLIDAY CARDS. I dare you.
The next time any bobblehead talks about the "war on Christmas," you can wholeheartedly agree.
Then be sure to identify its real targets.
