I didn't want to start a new topic to say this so I'll put it here: Have a Merry Christmas to all of you and Happy Holidays.   If 2012 hasn't been nice to you I sure hope 2013 treats you better.    :peace:

Wish everyone the best everyday. Christmas and all the other days of the year. I once heard an Irish greeting that says "Top of the morning to you, and the other person says,"The rest of the day to you."  I like that because everyday you are giving the hope of good things to fill the days of those around you. I think that's what Christmas is all about. :heart:

Working in the retail industry so long I just say back what is said to me. I don't think about PC- It's the holiday season because there is more than one holiday and we should wish happy holidays to anyone no matter what they celebrate. I don't think people should take offense to it if people say the wrong thing, like the whole Macy's thing years ago. It's ridiculous and everyone should just enjoy their holiday and wish the best to everyone else.

 :wave: I greet people with both as long as it puts a smile on their face spreading that holiday cheer is what makes me smile and people call me smiley, they say my smile is contagious :) ;) ;D

 We live in an area with a large non christian population so I usually say happy holidays. Its safer even though I would prefer to say "Merry Christmas".

I usually say Merry Christmas, but in our area the people wish each other Happy Holidays, so now I've adopted this greeting as well. I still wish my own family Merry Christmas though.

I say both depending on who I am speaking to.

I also say Merry Christmas.  Honestly, it doesn't occur to me to say Happy Holidays instead.

I wish strangers and the people working the checkouts at the stores Merry Christmas.
