AMEN to this post!!!! There are a lot of "holidays", but only one Christmas and it is to celebrate a more than special event.
I have to say though, I've never had someone wish me Happy Holidays that I can remember. I do believe that some may say it to combine Christmas and New Years and don't mean to be blase about it all.
I have another gripe along this same line...I want Christmas spelled out...not using the "X" in front of "mas." I will not write it this way ever!!!! I don't want the "Christ" taken out of Christmas either!!!!! Great Post!!!
