I understand what you're saying, but this shortens Merry Christmas and Happy
New Year and we are a nation of many peoples, and inclusion is nice. I
actually have Jewish friends, who observe Hanukah, can I not say Happy
Holidays and include all of them and whoever else? Besides, the fact is that
Jesus was probably actually born in June and Christmas was adopted from
Winter Solstice festivals going back to the friggin' cavemen. So, if one
wanted to be absolutely correct and Christian, then he should be putting his
tree together in June, except that the tree is actually a German pagan
tradition honoring the spirits that they believed lived in evergreen trees
and could bring back life to the world after the winter.
It may not always be political correctness, just courtesy.
I will never use Xmas. That's just lazy.
