    merry christmans.

    I celebrate Christrmas as do a lot of other people. don't slam your politically correct crap down my throat. If you're Jewish tell me and I'll say happy Hanukkah or w/e the hell it is you're celebrating instead. If you're Islamic, your month was over a month ago.

    in America, the other two holidays would be Kwanzaa (which was invented by some black dude in the 60s to celebrate their supposed racial supremecy) and Hanukkah.

    3% of the population is Jewish it's almost negligible. If someone is jewish, they can tell me and I'll gladly wish them a happy Hanukkah.

    the population which celebrates Kwanzaa can deal. I don't get a holiday to celebrate being white, so they don't need to have their holiday celebrating their ethnicity honored.

    I know several people who aren't Christian who celebrate Christmas. Of course there are people who don't celebrate Christmas and want to be included. So when it comes to any major ads Happy Holidays should be the term used. Plus it implies things like the New Year.

    Merry Christmas.

    Its really not a christian or catholic thing anymore. Its American. If you live in america you celebrate Christmas whether you open gifts or not. Try... 50% off on pretty much everything? The next gen console release dates? "End of the Year"(Christmas) Bonus?

    I think it is Happy Holiday's. Not everyone in the world celebrates Christmas so Holiday is a better word for it. People do not really understand the true meaning of Christmas and do it just for the presents :P.

    I say just say what you celebrate, I celebrate Christmas so I saw Merry Christmas.....if I say this to you, and you celebrate another holiday, then you respond with that one...

    I.E.
    Merry Christmas!

    Then you say happy hanukkah or whatever holiday you celebrate.
