Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays???
Shawn Hirn > responds: >> Which one do you prefer? [...] > 1) Use "Merry Christmas" if you know the person celebrates Christmas > or "Happy Hanukkah" if you know the person celebrates Hanukkah, or > "Happy Kwanzaa" if you know the person celebrates Kwanzaa. Kwaanza is a silly, contrived pseudo-holiday. It's "celebration" shouldn't be encouraged by even acknowledging its misbegotten existence. "Enough. Kwanzaa is a pagan, racist, charade founded by a man in 1966 who tortured 2 women. If idiocy draws some unfortunates to it, that is their problem." -- http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/599447/posts > 2) If you don't know which holiday (Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, or Christmas), > someone celebrates, say something generic such as "Seasons Greetings" Does anybody ever actually *say* "Season's Greetings?" I see it on Christmas cards (oh, the irony!) and on banners hung by busin- esses or painted on their windows, but I can't remember ever hearing it used as a spoken salutation. ("'Urnutzov,' he salutated, bowing and tugging his foreskin.") > 3) Do not acknowledge the holiday season at all. It's the *Christmas* season, whether it's acknowledged or not Hannukah (sometimes spelled Chanukkah, pronounced "Cha-NOO-ka") isn't even a major Jewish holiday, so its questionable whether it even rates a holiday greeting.
