Someday, I may accept Happy Holidays as a greeting, but right now, when that greeting comes from a corporate level, I resent it. It says it's ok to offend the Christians (cos we've told them so), just make sure you get their money.

I just don't see that attempting to use a non-religious greeting makes it offensive to Christians or ok to offend them. It's a way to be inclusive of all of your customers - even if that comes from the corporate level, I don't see a problem with that.

But, where I live, we're mostly a Christian looking people (please, no one bother to advise me on the insensitivity, the utter gall of my assumptions based on appearance...it might be profiling!), so to most of the people I see, I say Merry Christmas, cos it's that time of year.

Me too - it's my standard greeting for the holiday season. I've never said, nor do I have a problem with saying Merry Christmas. Just that I don't have a problem with Happy Holidays.

Now, to you I say "Happy Holidays", or, as Fez would say "Good day!" :)

But... uh... yeah , I know, you said, GOOD DAY! : ) And have a Merry Christmas!
