"SNIP..........

Ivanka Trump took a shot in the War on Christmas, defying her father by using the controversial and secular phrase "Happy Holidays."

The first daughter tweeted a photo with that phrase, and a photo of herself with two other women in front of a Christmas tree and American flag, on Monday night, a day before the start of Hanukkah.

Trump, who was raised Presbyterian Christian, converted to Judaism in 2009 when she married Jared Kushner, who is a Modern Orthodox Jew.

The tweet immediately set off a barrage of holiday hand-wringing, with users scolding Trump by citing her father's insistence on saying "Merry Christmas."

6. Careful, Ivanka

You've already pissed him off by implying women are really human beings. This might be the end of a relationship.

7. She also might switch to "Merry Xmas"

when Hanukah is over and she isn't forced so say "Happy Hanukah and Merry Xmas" or ignore Hanukah entirely.

8. Trump tweets that Ivanka used to be willing to do anything to receive her allowance
