Yesterday, while my dentist trip was going downhill very fast, I was listening to the radio station they had playing. The dj had wished "happy holidays" and wondered aloud how many folks said that. In came a flood of calls for and against it. One person was super scary and going down a pretty nasty path with name-callings and whatnot before he got cut off. It is a topic, it seems.
While the dentist drilled away, I started wondering about why I say "merry holidays" to folks. And...it's because I'm lazy. Even when I was little, instead of saying "Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!" (which are two separate holidays very close together), I'd just say "Merry Holidays!" or "Happy New Christmas!"
Now that my circle of folks has expanded, I can either say "Merry Christmas! Happy Hannukah! Happy Solstice! Happy Kwanzaa! Happy New Year (of many different types)!" among other good wishes, or I can continue to be lazy and say "Merry Holidays!" I think that's the way to go.
Moral of today's story: people are pretty cheerful this time of year and are just trying to find the best inclusive way to wish you cheerfulness, too. Merry Holidays!
