"Happy Holidays" (holy days) is being used instead of "Merry Christmas" in an effort to not offend anyone but we all know the reason for all the hoopla at this time of year is because of Christmas and has nothing to do with any other religion's holy days.
I see nothing wrong with wishing people Merry Hannakah , Happy Kwanza, etc.. but these celebrations have nothing to do with Christmas so why try and roll them all up together into a "Happy Holy Day" type greeting. Maybe we should all just celebrate winter and use "Season's Greetings".
I would suggest to the retailers that they continue to use "Merry Christmas" since Christmas is the reason for all the gift giving/buying at this time of year.
