Why I say "Happy Holidays"...

I am a Christian. I celebrate Christmas.
Sometimes I say "Happy Holidays" and sometimes I say "Merry Christmas".
I honestly don't see anything wrong with saying "Happy Holidays" and I'm in no
way offended when someone says it to me. In fact, I enjoy having a stranger bid me
a happy holiday greeting, because the rest of the year I'm used to a large percentage
of the public flipping me off and acting in a generally disgruntled manner.

Why I'm cool with "Happy Holidays"? Easy... because I consider Christmas a holiday,
therefore making the term "Happy Holidays" inclusive of Christmas, along with New Years
and every other holiday my neighbors may be inclined to celebrate.
Whatever that holidays is, I hope it's a happy one for YOU!
So "Happy Holidays" = Lots of birds, one stone.

Your holiday is what you make of it.
Fellow Christians, the true essence of Christmas comes from what's in your heart
and not the terminology on your neighbors greeting card.
I tend to think that honoring Christ through actions is more important
than splitting semantic hairs. Just my thoughts, but so far it's working for me!

So with that I say, I hope you have the most wonderful of holidays.
All my love, Friends!
