Was an old fashioned Christmas really more environmentally friendly?

"Merry Christmas?" "Season's Greetings?" "Happy Holidays?" Which do you prefer? Call me old-fashioned and.....

  • politically incorrect (I am and proud of it!), but "Merry Christmas" works best for me......and that's what I always tell the checkout clerks at the store when they wish me a "Happy Holidays."

  • Answer:

    I like Merry Christmas as well. I do the same thing when wished Happy Holidays by store clerks. Frankly I don't think they even notice but it makes me feel better. :)

I was brought up saying Merry Christmas and I will always say it. I am a Catholic and I keep Christ in Christmas, but, it is also traditional.

Definitely "Merry Christmas"! I'll join you in political un-correctness if that's what it is!

Poppet!

Merry Christmas.........after all, it is the Christmas season.

Any greeting is fine with me. It's the spirit that counts, and the courtesy of a greeting. I also don't care if someone says "Happy Hannukah" or "Happy Kwanza." And on the 21st I'll be wishing all my friends a Happy Solstice - the original Pagan holiday that Christians piggybacked their Christmas upon (which is fine with me - the more the merrier~!). I find it ironic that some people bristle at "Happy Holidays" - a greeting that is intended to be all inclusive and promote tolerance. (I guess the thought of tolerance makes some people intolerant, lol.) I celebrate Christmas, but as a secular holiday; and I celebrate the Solstice as a spiritual holiday. I try to do something for Hanukkah as a nod to my hubby's roots, like make lattkes - nom nom.

Merry christmas!!!! I work retail and Im not technically supposed to say merry christmas im supposed to say happy holidays. I prefer merry christmas and I like it when customers say it to me because then I dont have to say happy holidays for the 100th time in a day.

"Merry Christmas" is the one I'm comfortable with, after all, it began with Christ and that's what it ought to be about. To say Happy Holidays sounds like going on a holiday, a vacation somewhere, so if you're travelling then it's appropriate. And Season's Greetings belongs on Christmas cards. ;-)

All are ok. Jesus was not really born this time of year...maybe in Spring. Holidays is too general maybe. Just a smile/friendly would be appreciated.
