in general people speaking in public/to strangers who say "happy holidays" instead of "merry christmas" do not choose those words because the person they're talking to might find the term "merry christmas" offensive....that would be f@cking retarded - "retarded" as in "retarded thinking" not "retarded" the offensive expression people say "happy holidays" instead of "merry christmas" because some people in society don't celebrate christmas. some people celebrate hanukkah (def just used spell check on that one). some celebrate kwanzaa (that one too). some celebrate solstice (regrettably, that one too...also used it on "regrettably"). and some folks celebrate other things i've never even heard of or even necessarily (spell check every effing time on "necessarily/necessary") care to hear about. and (partially due to it being xmas season) i really want to convey to them that i hope they enjoy the holiday that they celebrate as much as i hope to enjoy mine.
side note: christmas is about giving to others not others giving to us. and what's more giving than accommodation?
