I would say it depends heavily on the context. Obviously, if 'Happy Holidays' is being used to the exclusion of 'Merry Christmas', then there's no emphasis on what Christmas is really about to Christians. You can't expect every Christian to take that lying down.


I think that is part of what bothers me. Retail stores really shouldn't have anything to do with what Christmas is really about IMHO. I live in the Twin Cities along with a fairly diverse population. Most are celebrating Christmas, others are celebrating different holidays. It makes sense for stores around here to go with Happy Holidays. I'm all for treating everybody fair but this is crossing over into special treatment.

Fair play!
