I did not have David Spade defending Christendom on my 2025 Bingo card.

[Warning: S-word]

Fox News's transcript:

'I will say that Christmas is taking a little bit of a beating lately. It is December and I saw the other day there was a tree-lighting ceremony for the Christmas tree in some dopey mall but it said tree-lighting ceremony, and they were careful not to say the word Christmas during the whole ceremony,' Spade said, without naming the mall.

'Why?' Spade asked. 'So it's just a tree?' And you go, I would understand if you said, "They're doing the tree lighting at [a certain mall] or whatever. You go, ‘OK.'"

'But to consciously avoid that, then what is the tree for?' he continued. 'A December to Remember? Is it a Lexus dealership? Why do we have — for the whole month? Isn't it for Christmas?'

'I'd say stop that bulls---,' Spade said.

The comedian actor made famous in Tommy Boy and Joe Dirt is out here telling people to stop being politically "correct" by avoiding the word "Christmas."

Have we ever been so back??
