I love this pic. For every annoying ‘P.C.’ greeting of “happy hooooolidayyyys” I get, I wanna scream. :-O
Thank goodness, that Australia has not yet adopted this annoying phrase. Even though we do steal most American phrases, I think this one is safe – for now. No, not because Aussies are at all religious, in fact Australia is very secular, but because “holidays” is what you do when you…. (need I say it?)…. go on a holiday!
e.g. to the coast, overseas, out back, etc. A holiday is a holiday, it is not a generic period of time, or religious festival, or national day/celebration.

So please, I beg you, if you are greeting anyone outside of the USA at this time of year, just say “Merry Christmas”. That is what the time of year is, and that is why we get the time off work. If you are so offended by it being a ‘Christian’ celebration, then move to Saudi Arabia – I am sure you will not have to deal with it there.

I might add here, that I have no issue with saying ‘happy Chinese new year’, ‘happy Diwali’, or ‘happy Ramadan’ etc. Even though I don’t celebrate them (or believe in them), doesn’t mean they don’t exist.
