You missed Hamas

As did Isreal!

(edit)
Jokes aside, it also took me forever, and I went through the exact same list of who might be offended. Who reads "Ham-mas" on a christmas bag and even when saying it out loud associates it with Hamas? I mean it's not like anybody still associates Christmas with Christ, so who cares what the first part is. Give me Crisp-mas with lots of crackers!

It's actually the Jews who asked to pull it out because it sounds like Hamas

They call Hamas “Ham” to save time.

And because they all secretly love pork even though it's haram.

I mean who doesn't like pork? If I had to pick one type of meat and that's all I'm allowed to eat for the rest of my life I'd choose pork
