As soon as your local mall starts resembling modern-day Aleppo, then you can claim there's a "war" on Christmas.

Until that day arrives--and I seriously doubt it will even under a President Trump--then please do us all a favor: Be quiet and think about how good you have it when your big outrage is whether a store clerk says "Happy Holidays" or "Merry Christmas" to you.

Regrettably, I couldn't find many public domain or shareable photos of what Aleppo looks like today. It is far worse than this image shows. I will keep trying because we all need to be aware of what's going on and has been going on for ages and yet have done all too little to help.
