And why wouldn't they say Merry Christmas?

Oh, it's because they don't say that in the US. It's always "Happy Holidays" with them. But here in Australia the telly always closes shows with "Merry Christmas" they also say "Happy Easter" as well.

As for the lever thing. Once on a check flight I said "Hey, what's this lever do?" and I pulled it (knowing full well what it did - increased the degree of flaps) just to see what my check pilot would do or say. We had a time we did. LOL
