Happy Holidays or Merry Christmas

[Dragonsrule]

Just curious what everyone prefers. The Religious Right is trying to really shove this down our throats now. I myself now prefer the Happy Holidays. You have Hanukkah, Kwanzaa and Christmas all going on at the same time.

Constantine made Christmas the celebration of the birth of Christ to take place at the same time as a Pagan holiday, sorry can't remember which one. I am sure Hanukkah has been going on a lot longer. Kwanzaa to me is still new and don't really know its origins.

Well, with Happy Holidays you can be inclusive of some other celebrations, such as Yule. I generally prefer Merry Christmas myself, but only for people who I have a pretty good idea aren't going to take offense. I think it's pretty funny when I'm wearing a tie with the birth of Jesus on it and someone says "Happy Holidays" to me
In any case, holiday-wise I try to ignore Kwanzaa. They even ripped off the menorah, for pete's sake.
