Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays

Today at work we sent out our E-Cards and there was a debate whether we said Happy Holidays or Merry Christmas. One person in our office said that in a personal setting it is OK to say Merry Christmas but professionally we need to say Happy Holidays. I was unsure what the differance is. I want everyone to know the good news of Jesus. Not just in a personal setting or a professional setting.

According to a US News poll, 77% of people polled prefer "Merry Christmas.

If a client told me Happy Hanukkah or Happy Kwanzaa, I would not be offended. I would return the greeting with "Merry Christmas".

So during this time of the year with many holidays, I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. It is the birth of Jesus our Lord and Savior and the anticipation of His return that I celebrate this time of year!
