The base won't notice the apostrophe. But they might notice the missing Merry Christmas. They'll have an excuse, though.[D]espite Trump’s repeated claims that “people are saying Merry Christmas again” instead of the more inclusive “happy holidays”, there are several places where the Christmas greeting is absent: Trump’s own businesses.
Instead of a Christmas gift guide – which surely would be more in keeping with the president’s stated desire for the phrase to be used – the [Trump Store] offers a holiday gift guide.
“Shop our Holiday Gift Guide and find the perfect present for the enthusiast on your list,” the online store urges.
“Carefully curated to celebrate the most wonderful time of year with truly unique gifts found only at Trump Store. Add a bow on top with our custom gift wrapping. Happy Holiday’s!”

Oh yeah. The government will be shut down over Christmas.But it’s not just the online Trump store, that is failing to keep the president’s Christmas promise.
This week a visit to Trump Tower, Trump’s signature New York City erection, revealed that Christmas is not mentioned anywhere in the building’s public space.
A phrase that is mentioned: “Holiday”, specifically at the Trump Grill, where the “Holiday Menu” options include the Trump Burger – it comes with cheese, egg, and “brownie ala mode”.

Trump International hotel and tower, half a mile from Trump Tower, has used the term Christmas three times on Twitter in the past eight years. It has used “holidays”, in relation to the season, more than a dozen times.
Trump Tower has similarly betrayed the president’s hardline Christmas stance. “Happy Holidays from Trump Tower!” the building’s Twitter feed exhorted in December 2016 – a month after Trump’s election victory should have represented the final blow in the Christmas war. It has used the phrase twice this month alone.
Happy Holidays. ...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
