The War on Christmas isn't about eliminating "Christmas." It's about taking the Christ out of "Christmas." It's about transforming it into a watered down, lukewarm, secular, feel good family fun time and presents holiday; with either only a skeleton of it's spiritual meaning remaining, or nothing of it at all.

Well, ok. Christmas is December 25th, so if you're telling people "Merry Christmas" on December 23rd, then you are being disingenuous.

Like all spiritual war, it happens slowly and quietly. Rarely is it ever outright stated, and "progress" is made through concessions. There isn't a war on Christmas, but a war on Christ. Anyone who tries to minimize that to just Christmas is in greater danger of slipping.
I always felt Christmas shouldn't involve gift giving. Same with birthdays. Takes away from the point of them both.

Obviously it is. Fedoras have no culture and can't create their own holiday, so they are trying to steal this and abhor anything related to Christinanity, hence "Muh Saturnalia" and Happy Holidays. There is a very sizable Christian population in Lebanon for example (used to be the majority) and more Christians in Muslim countries than Jews in American. But there is and never will be a push for them not to say Eid Mubarak and say something secular (No Arab Christian says Eid Mubarak for our festivals, regardless of the translation).
The goal is explicit, to secularize and strip any cultural influence Christianity has over western culture. This includes propping up other religions.
In addition, the idea that there are "pagan" influences on Christianity is totally idiotic and I'll give you a simple example. In South Asia, Christians (who have been Christian longer than some European countries) may cook curry for Christmas. Their women may wear a Saree for Christmas mass. Oh no curry is pagan food! They're wearing pagan clothes! Clearly this is paganism! These idiot fedoras think that Christians should be like Muslims and when they convert should LARP as Hebrews or something.

The war on Christmas is real, and its main leader is called Santa Claus, an icon of consumerism and capitalism who turns St Nicholas into a fable and Christ's nativity into background noise.

This is why you’re wrong:
-it’s been proven that Jesus died on April 3rd, 33 AD by science and archaeology (https://www.firstthings.com/web-exclusives/2014/04/april-3-ad-33)
-it’s a tradition that righteous men would die on the day of their conception
-if we assume that the April 3 date is in the Gregorian calander, moving it back to the Julian date would put us at about March 21-25
-nine months from March is December

That number includes a lot of "cultural Christians" though, like functionally-secular Europeans and Americans who put down "Christian" on censuses out of tradition.
I imagine if you took away all the self-described Christians who don't go to church (or even really believe any of it), the number would be much lower.

You have no idea what you're talking about. Christianity always incorporates local customs, it's pro-national. For example, some feasts on the Russian Orthodox calendar are from pagan times but they are dedicated to saints instead.
As opposed to the muslim doctrine of destroying all national feasts, art, and customs.
