"Happy Holidays" is a quick way of saying "Happy Christmas and New Year".

"Merry Christmas" is, of course, more specific.

>"Happy Holiday" (sometimes performed as "Happy Holidays") is a popular song composed by Irving Berlin during 1942 and published the following year.

>"Happy Holiday" was introduced by Bing Crosby in the 1942 film Holiday Inn, with The Music Maid and Hal and John Scott Trotter and His Orchestra, where it is performed in a medley with the title song. While it is commonly regarded as a Christmas song, in the film it is performed on New Year's Eve, and expresses a wish for the listener to enjoy "happy holidays" throughout the entire year.

>The song helped to popularize the phrase "Happy holidays" as a common greeting during the Christmas and holiday season in the United States.

Ah its another "THE WAR ON CHRISTMAS" thread. every fucking year we go through this shit my fellow burgers, the only people who get assblasted if you say "merry Christmas" are self hating whites protecting "muh minorities". kebabs/pablo doesen't give a shit if you say "merry Christmas"

Most of us accept the minority groups around us, and we hope they're happy with whatever they're celebrating that time of year.
Also, it's a faster way of saying "merry Christmas and happy new year"

Jesus was objectively overrated as an historical figure, and should've never became this famous

Also before you fling the fedora accusation Jesus called a gentile woman a "dog" (along with referring to all non-Jews as "dogs") in Matthew 15:21-26 and Mark 7:24-27.

The only time I ever see people getting offended by Merry Christmas is on the internet. I've never seen it in real life. I'm an atheist and I still say Merry Christmas and don't really care if anyone says it to me. Christmas has been secularized to hell and back anyway, aside from Christ being in the name it has virtually no religious significance anymore.
>>
>>66554348
if you go to a retailer nearby with their xmas decorations out will any banners say 'merry xmas' or 'happy holidays'?
>>
>>66554348
>aside from Christ being in the name it has virtually no religious significance anymore.
Well that's clearly biased and untrue. Because it has none of that significance to you doesn't mean it doesn't for Christians.

>>66554407
Both.
>>
>>66554407
Retailers don't want to take the chance of offending people resulting in a lost sale or worse some asshat that goes to the media and starts generating bad press. Even if that chance is small the risk isn't worth it to companies where money is everything. They will pander to virtually any crowd no matter how small if profits are at stake.
>>
>>66548351
Businesses here in Iowa say happy holidays to avoid offending people.
The average person still says Merry Christmas.
Hell, even most local businesses do. Only ones that do happy holidays are the ones that need to appeal to the wider audience of minority groups.

I was raised Catholic and my family is still Catholic and relatively regular church-goers. I hear every now and then about what's going on at Church and it doesn't sound very good for the long term life of the Church. Numbers have been dropping and less and less people go to mass anymore. They used to do a second collection once a month now it's every single week and sometimes there are three collections all to make up for lost attendance. And on top of that not enough people are interested in becoming priests anymore, they have to get foreign priests. Right now the priest is a Pajeet.

Churches are hurting. Maybe there are some that are thriving as there will always be but there are many sources that cite the younger generations as being less interested and invested in religion and this is only likely to increase with time.
>>
>>66554513
I'll admit it's sloppy.

>>66554615
Not sure what you mean by this. I'm just saying that for Christians it is definitely a Christian holiday with Jesus as the centerpiece.
