Oh, my. Isn't the word "holiday" itself taken from "Holy Day"? If that is correct, what ever will they do??

Oh my. You've hit the motherload.

Of course, it's a Holy day tree.

Now for the fireworks!

Yes. When people wish me "Happy Holidays", I respond with "Thanks - and Happy Holy Days to you, too."

Holiday [altered from holy day]: day set aside for the commemoration of an important event.

From Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia.

Thou art correct. Don't tell the liberals, though. They have no idea.
