They tried to go so far as to call Christmas trees "Holiday Trees" here, but the only reason you put them up is to celebrate Christmas so they are back to being called Christmas trees. If I don't personally know someone I wish them a Happy Holiday because here in California we have so many different faiths and people of no faith. I myself am a Christian and if I know the other person is, I definitely wish them a Merry Christmas.

If I know that they celebrate Christmas then I will wish them a merry one. I don't really feel that by saying "Happy Holidays" I am being disrespectful. On the other hand, I enjoyed your celebration of beautiful artworks depicting Christ's birth.Thread Bornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14976508177978319576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2849039259118293467.post-12542054594593505902012-12-24T08:09:37.287+10:002012-12-24T08:09:37.287+10:00
