This wasn't a governmental action, it was a capitalist one. Individual stores made this choice, I don't recall seeing a government mandate removing Christmas.
And I'm with you that the lack of the word "Christmas" this past year was ridiculous. But I don't recall seeing any elected official demanding it.
