I always say Happy Holidays, even if I know how they celebrate, because that also includes New Years Chat Icon

If I know what you celebrate - I will wish you either a Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah or whatever your holiday is

If I do not know - I say Happy Holidays

What do you normally say?



To whom?

If I know someone celebrates a particular holiday, I wish them a happy that holiday (Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah, whatever)

If I don't know, I probably don't say anything. If they wish me a happy holiday in a store, I just say, "you too" or something like that.

I certainly don't say "Happy Holiday" to someone if I know they celebrate a particular holiday.

To a general group, Happy Holidays.

To family and friends that I know celebrate Christmas, Merry Christmas.




Same here but I think I used "Happy Holidays" in most of my Christmas cards this year.

It depends on who it is...usually Merry Christmas to friends and family. Happy Holidays to coworkers, etc.

Re: Do you say... Happy Holidays or Merry Christmas?

I say Merry Christmas to a lot of people. I've had people wish me a Happy Hanukkah before and I've never taken offense to it. Personally I don't understand how it's offensive. But if I know someone does not celebrate Christmas than I usually say enjoy your holiday season.

i'm sorry - because some people don't celebrate christmas, saying happy holidays is "too pc"? is it so terrible that some people want to include all religions when wishing someone a good holiday season? i am Chat Icon about your comment.

Re: Do you say... Happy Holidays or Merry Christmas?

As a child, I always said, "Merry Christmas".

As an adult, the only thing I say is, "Happy Holidays". I've matured in my old age and learned that not everyone celebrates Christmas.
