    When I worked at Target, we were to say 'Happy Holidays'. I chose not to say anything after one lady WENT OFF on me for saying it. "ITS CHRISTMAS!! SAY MERRY CHRISTMAS!! JESUS DIED SO WE COULD SAY MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!"

    Wow, lady. Way to spread that Christmas cheer. If the baby Jesus were here, he'd be crying right now. :grumble:

    So now I work at a different store and I say "Have a great night!", and if they wish me holiday cheer of any kind, I wish it back. I would love to say 'Happy Merry ChristmaHannuKwanzikah" but I think that might be too PC for everyone. :laugh:

    dangerious opinion incomming- I don't think it really matters. Merry Christmas is wonderful greeting and as a Christian man I can totally get down with some Merry Christmas, but am I going to get upset if someone wishes me a happy holidays? of course not. How terrible of them to recognize people who have a different belief system than I do. My religion's holiday has the most commercial value and I am the only one allowed to be right about my religious beliefs so I am offended by your little "happy holidays". Might as well tell me to go jump off a bridge if your going to spout off an offensive phrase like happy holidays. Horrible, deplorable and just plain sad.

    Bigger fish to fry people. Lets spend less time worrying about the greeting and more time worrying about the meaning. Treat people with kindness and show the love that these holidays are about.

    I don't have to be politically correct. I say Merry Christmas. If anyone has a problem with that they need to just get over it. MERRY CHRISTMAS. MERRY CHRISTMAS. MERRY CHRISTMAS. MERRY CHRISTMAS. MERRY CHRISTMAS. MERRY CHRISTMAS. :bigsmile:

    I tend to say "Happy Holidays", but only because in my mind, I'm wishing them a Merry Christmas AND a Happy New Year.

    I work in retail and I don't say either... because it's very tiresome after one hundred customers to say Merry Christmas after my standard: Have a good day, thank you for shopping at ***.

    :grumble:

    Anyway, I say Merry Christmas if they wish me Merry Christmas but otherwise I just focus on getting people through. THE LINE UPS ARE CRAZY

    ditto my friend ...if I say anymore than Hey there...or Hi... that's what I say as well:laugh:

    or come to think of it...I've found myself saying more recently... Hey have a nice holiday...and smiling.... seems to work, they are all like, OMG YOU TOO!:laugh: So I must not be saying anything to offensive.... I think spyguy is right somethings are just made to bigga deal of.... the USA is made up of many many cultures.... certainly NOT everyone celebrates xmas..... sometimes I think folks get a wee bit to bent out of shape... beliefs can be celebrated all year if one choices.... not simply one day...:bigsmile: :bigsmile:

    I don't do the Holidays anymore...simply to many sad losses and I just try to plow thru all the ads, decorations and crap....not a scrooge, just not a holiday person anymore.... I think when you have kids, it's very different when they are young....you create memorable experiences so they have those to look back on....... we had wonderful Holidays when younger... but life changes:cry: ....as do we........:bigsmile:

    I don't know about Canada but I heard a statistic (from 2 different sources) that 93% of Americans celebrate Christmas. Unless I know for sure someone doesn't celebrate, I will say 'Merry Christmas.'

    I respect others belief system. If they correct me, I'm more than happy to retract.

    I doubt the statistic of 93% is correct, regardless of your sources.

    Don't wish me that.
