What is so wrong with Happy Holidays? We have already seen a letter on Planetfeedback.com complaining about cashiers not being allowed or refusing to say Merry Christmas. We have been listening to this debate for years and it still causes us to scratch our heads. We fail to see what the big deal is! We do not all walk around with bubbles above our heads that identify what faith we are our what holiday we may celebrate. There are numerous holidays celebrated by many religions during the same basic time of the year. How very entitled of some people to think their holiday is the ONLY one.
Too us Happy Holidays or even Seasons Greetings seem like appropriate phrases to use. We cannot imagine the logistical nightmare it must be for the overworked and under appreciated retail worker to try and decipher (correctly) what faith everyone practices and deliver the proper greeting. We at ShopperCast wonder why can't we agree to disagree and all just get along, after all it is a special time of year. Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa, Happy Festivius, etc etc etc......

The way things are, what harm is there in the word "Holiday"? It's the thought that counts most.
