and some department stores

even tell employees

to avoid saying

"Merry Christmas."

Dude!

Bob, you're famous!

Here's what we found out.

Sears/Kmart would not answer...

"Dude"?

O'REILLY:
They were the worst

we had to deal with.

85% of Americans

say they are Christians.

Christmas is a federal holiday,

signed into law by U.S. Grant.

And we're living in a time

where some retail outlets

will not say "Merry Christmas."

Insane?

What did my dad die for, Bob?

That's what happens in war.

No, I mean, why did he die?

He gave his life

for his country.

So, what are we doing?

What are you doing?

Chris.

Your grandfather was in

a very special unit.

He rescued prisoners of war.

What are you doing now?

It's not that easy, kid.

What are you doing?

I'm just one kid.

Well, I'm just one grandpa.

I think...

Chris is right.

We should all

be doing something.

MAN ON RADIO:

And after 75 years,

the Hollywood

Chamber of Commerce

refused to sponsor

the Christmas parade.

The L.A. city council took over

and renamed it

the Hollywood Santa Parade.

75 years of tradition gone.

So, what are we up here

looking for?

Um... Christmas stuff,

decorations.

Isn't that

a little old-school?

Yeah, 'cause people don't really

decorate around here any more.

Well, maybe they should start.

Okay.

I agree.

Here's a reindeer.

It's kind of Christmas-ish.

Thank you.

Here's a Santa Claus.

Nice.

Cool.

Oh, jackpot!

Are you guys thinking

what I'm thinking?

If you're thinking it's cheesy,

then, yeah.

No, let's...

let's put it up.

Let's put it all up tonight.

[ Thunder rumbles ]

I'm so glad you were there.

I just don't want Chris

to get started off

on the wrong foot.

You know how you can get

a bad reputation real fast.

[ Laughs ]

[ Laughs ] Oh!

You remember that, huh?

You were a pretty bad boy

in school.

Yeah, I was stupid.

I think you and Thomas

got away with murder

because you smiled your way

out of everything.

Just like that!

Well, maybe once.

[ Both laugh ]

So, Chief of Police,

huh? Mm.

Impressive.

Very impressive.

Then again,

you always had to be in charge.

Well, it's overrated.

So, if you

don't mind me asking,

what's the story

on Maddy's mom?

Um...

Stacy had her own agenda,

that didn't include

Maddy and me.

She's in Philadelphia

or... somewhere.

Sorry.

I hope this isn't

completely awkward.

Um...

Can I take you to dinner

sometime?

Sure.

So, Saturday night?

Perfect.

7:
00?

Sounds good.

Good.

Good.

[ Laughs ]

Christian's right.

What am I doing?

What do you mean?

Dottie, what makes me

any different

than the next guy that just

sits around and does nothing?

You remember that plaque
