Merry Christmas 2008

I posted a similar thread/post last year and it recieved some good posts, so I thought to do it again to give the newer members and lurkers a chance to chime in...

Do you say Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year or are you PC and say Happy Holidays...Now so as not to appear stupid if I know for a fact someone is Jewish then I will say Happy Chanukah..

For me it is always Happy Holidays and have a wonderful New Year. Since we have Christian and Jewish and all types of friends.

I say Happy Holidays if I'm really thinking about it for the sort of reason you mention but by default I'm a "Merry Xmas" kind of guy.

 

[JadecloudAlchemist]

I agree with Terry.

I say Happy holidays.

I say 'Happy Holidays' not only for the reasons given, but also for the thought that this holiday, above all others, has been over commercialized.

Happy Holidays!

I'm a HH guy as rattling off the 12+ holidays in Dec. takes too long.

It's Merry Christmas, or Season's Greetings for me-get's away fromthe whole "Holiday" thing.......

I've been as of late liking the English way of saying it... Happy Christmas.

Hows bout, "Felixa YaNumNob!"

That's about as close to an Ewok Holiday Greeting as you can get... cool Bob!

 

[BlueDragon1981]

I say Happy Holidays to most, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to those who are close.

 

[crushing]

I mix it up depending on the person I'm greeting.

I grew up hearing/saying Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, so that's become habit for me.

Unless I'm teasing a very good friend, which I am not above in any season, I try to greet people with what I know they'll like.

I can't figure out those who get insistent about this stuff. For example, to me, shoving an aggressive, " Merry Christmas", at a Jewish guy isn't a sincere holiday wish at all, it's a cheap way of insulting him under the guise of wishing good cheer.

Sometimes its better not to say anything at all. Other times it can be a way to tell somebody you're glad to have them as a friend/family member/ coworker all year long.

I try to greet my friends and associates with the proper phrase for their beliefs.

But this year so far has been Bah Humbug
