The Georgia House on Tuesday charged into the national "war on Christmas."
House members approved a bill that prevents state and local governments from banning their employees and students from verbal expressions celebrating any public or legal holiday.
"Simply put, in the state of Georgia, it's going to be OK to say 'Merry Christmas' in the public workplace and in our schools," said Rep. Clay Cox (R-Lilburn), the bill's sponsor.
The vote was 136-25.
