Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays? Whatever...
So some segment of our society think there's an all-out attack on Christmas. They think that saying "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas" somehow siphons the meaning out of this season because it dilutes the whole reason for Christmas in the first place.
Some prefer "happy holidays" because it recognizes the diversity of the season, honors all holiday celebrations that take place at this time of year and exhibits a respect for traditions based on beliefs other than Christianity.
So here at BlogPulse central, we turned loose a trend graph that shows both phrases surviving quite nicely, thank you.
Can't we all just get along and enjoy this time of year, whatever it means?
