Question by Maggie (Sally Simpson Wannabe): Happy Holidays vs. Merry Christmas?
What are your opinions on switching from saying Merry Christmas to Happy Holidays.
I go to public school and in our lobby we had a Christmas tree, but we added a menorah and some African artwork to represent Kwanzaa. (sorry, if that is spelled wrong, but it was spell checked)
I think that was an example of a good change from just singling out Christmas.
My best friend is Jewish, but she also celebrates Christmas (puts up a tree, stockings, etc) and she says that she isn’t offended if someone says “Merry Christmas” to her, but in public places where people hang those holiday-time banners, they should say, “Happy Holidays” instead of just saying “Merry Christmas”
I agree with that, that it shouldn’t be made a huge deal if someone says merry christmas to you, even if you don’t celebrate the holiday, but we should make adjustments with decorations in public places.
Thoughts????

I’m sorry but if someone gets offended by seeing merry Christmas they should really get a life.

‘Merry Christmas’ Beats ‘Happy Holidays’ in Actual Consumer Usage
Racine, WI (PRWEB) December 14, 2006
In the ongoing battle over whether it’s better to say “Merry Christmas” or “Happy Holidays,” “Merry Christmas” is winning by almost a 4-to-1 margin.
http://www.GiftBasketsDeluxe.com, a major gift basket company, today announced the results of an analysis of holiday gift card messages sent through their company.
The study showed that 73 percent of holiday gift baskets sent used the term “Christmas” on their cards, as opposed to the more politically correct term “holidays.”
This is part of an accelerating three-year trend. Studies of gifts sent through the company in prior years show that:
42 percent used the term “Christmas” in 2004
57 percent used it in 2005
A record-high level of 73 percent used it in 2006
This type of data is more accurate than traditional poll data, because it reports what people actually do, rather than what they tell pollsters they do.
“It appears that consumers are reacting to the removal of Christmas trees from airports, nativity scenes from public squares and traditional carols from grade school performances by choosing to use the term ‘Merry Christmas’ more than they did in the past,” said Don Crowther, president of GiftBasketsDeluxe.com.
“For some, it’s a religious statement,” Crowther said. “But for others, it appears that this is a backlash against the way Christmas has been politicized, with courts mandating the removal of many of the symbols and traditions that form a foundation for this holiday.”
Crowther also noticed what appears to be a backlash against the term “happy holidays.”
“People who didn’t use the word Christmas in their cards used to say ‘happy holidays,’” Crowther said. “This year, those people are using more generic terms like ‘best wishes in this holiday season,’ that allow them to avoid the usage of the term `happy holidays.’” He thinks that is because some people now assign the phrase “happy holidays” a negative connotation.
The study includes gift baskets ordered between Nov. 16 and Dec. 13, 2006.
http://www.GiftBasketsDeluxe.com and http://www.Corporate-Gift-Baskets.com are websites for a privately-held company that specializes in providing unique, distinctive gift baskets and corporate gift baskets that people use and remember long after the gift is received.
Don Crowther is available for interviews through December 25, 2006. He can be contacted at 262-639-2270. His high-resolution photo can be downloaded at http://www.GiftBasketsDeluxe.com/consumerterms2006.html along with a 4-color graph that illustrates the usage trends for these terms.
