Let me start off by saying that I'm a Christian. I love Christmas and everything about it. I know that the joy and purpose of Christmas is the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ.

But I won't get upset if someone tells me "Happy Holidays". After all, what is the origin of the word "holiday"? It's "holy day". Plus, ever since I was a kid, I always thought the greeting referred to a combination of "Merry Christmas And Happy New Year".

I feel the same about "Season's Greetings"! I know that I'll be getting a Christmas card or two this year imprinted with that phrase. And it won't bother me a bit. After all, we all know the "Reason" for the "Season".
