We hear so many places are omitting the word Christmas from their greetings.
We hear Happy Holidays all the time.  Some say that it is a cumulative way of recognizing Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanza and New Years.

Well, if we're going to do it like that then how about this:

On the Fourth of July, instead of Happy Independence Day, we say Happy Holidays
On Easter or Passover we say, Happy Holidays.
On Halloween we say Happy Holidays
Forget Presidents Day.
Forget Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
Forget Memorial Day.
Forget Labor Day.
Forget it all.
Every time something is to be celebrated, all we should say is HAPPY HOLIDAYS.

• 95 percent of Americans celebrate Christmas (Fox News/Opinion Dynamics, 2005).
• 69% of Americans now use the “Merry Christmas” greeting compared to 56% previously (USAToday/CNN/Gallup Poll, December 20, 2005).
• 61% of Americans now oppose generic “Happy Holiday” greetings, compared to 44% in 2004 (USA Today/CNN/Gallup Poll, December 20, 2005).
• 69% of Americans prefer “Merry Christmas” over “Happy Holidays” (Rasmussen Poll 2006).
• 90 percent of Americans recognize Christmas as the birthday of Jesus Christ (Gallup, 2000).
• 88 percent of Americans say it is okay for people to wish others "Merry Christmas" and the majority of Americans are more likely to wish someone they just met "Merry Christmas" rather than "Happy Holidays" (CNN/USA Today/Gallup, 2004).
• 87 percent of Americans believe nativity scenes should be allowed on public property (Fox News/Opinion Dynamics, 2003).

It seems to me that if we can't say Christmas, then we have to omit the name of EVERY HOLIDAY from any greeting. We all must be "politically correct".  So, then it would politically incorrect to remember our Veterans on Veterans Day, and wipe Christopher Columbus from our history books.  While were at it, let's make all the calendar companies quit putting the specifics of a holiday on their calendars.  So December 25th will only say HOLIDAY.  The same with New Years Day.  HOLIDAY.  The same with February 14th. HOLIDAY.

To just casually omit the reason for one holiday is good enough reason to omit the reason and the name from all of them.

Makes Sense To Me
