Council chiefs have binned a five-year-old 'politically correct' ban on displaying such signs.
Tory Coun Khizar Iqbal, cabinet member for community cohesion, said his group planned to adorn all town halls with banners wishing people a 'Merry Chris
tmas'.
Coun Iqbal admitted the council had shied away from displaying the traditional Christian greeting in the past, instead opting for the neutral 'Season's Greetings'.
He said: "For a long time now, certainly a number of years, the council has only put up things which say 'season's greetings' on town halls.
"There was a strong perception that political correctness was behind this. I think this kind of PC does more harm than good to community relations.
"This year we will be putting up 'Merry Christmas' signs on all our town halls."
Coun Iqbal said Kirklees was a diverse society where many different festivals, like Eid and Divali, were also celebrated.
But, he added: "Here in this country there are many Christian events because this is a predominantly Christian country and I think they should have equal if not more prominence.
"I hope people see a change this year. We're trying to promote equality."
It is the second piece of 'politically correct' protocol to be ditched by the current Tory administration in Kirklees.
Last month, they axed an employee guide which said moving things on people's desks was akin to physical assault.
