SALT LAKE CITY, Dec. 4 (UPI) -- A Utah state lawmaker says the Legislature will be presented with a resolution asking retailers not to exclude "Merry Christmas" from their holiday greetings.
State Sen. Chris Buttars, R-West Jordan, said he decided to have the resolution drafted for presentation during the 2009 legislative session after hearing from several employees of a retail store that they were barred from saying "Merry Christmas" to customers, the Deseret Morning News reported Wednesday.
Buttars did not identify the retailer.
"We have a war on Christmas," Buttars said.
The senator referred to the United States as a Christian nation and said the majority of U.S. citizens celebrate Christmas.
The resolution, which Buttars said will be presented to the Legislature next year, would not be subject to enforcement.
