But how does Santa feel about "holiday" parties and "holiday" trees?

Fox News went straight to a man in a Santa suit for a short segment on the so-called "War on Christmas," or the movement to make holiday celebrations more sensitive to other cultures and religions.

Sal Lizard, Santa Claus impersonator and author of "Being Santa Claus: What I Learned About the True Meaning of Christmas," appeared on "Fox & Friends" Thursday wearing his work uniform and a giant gold-plated belt that read "Santa."

"Santa, I understand that you don't want to say 'happy holidays," why?" host Steve Doocy asked first.

"I can’t find any reference where Santa has ever said anything other than 'merry Christmas,'" Lizard said.

"What do you make of the political correctness part of our culture? Have you seen it change over time?" host Gretchen Carlson asked.
