Newsflash: Christmas isn't the only holiday celebrated in the holiday season.
Thanksgiving, Hanukka, Kwanzaa, Yule, the Winter Solstice, sometimes Ramadan, and don't forget New Year's eve!
By saying only Merry Christmas, it leaves the others out, and caters to only those who celebrate Christmas. By saying Happy Holidays, the retailers are addressing everyone, and no one feels left out.
@smithy4067 Christmas is just a name. The holiday is NOT christian. It's pre-christian. The traditions we observe are nearly 2000 years old and Norse and Celtic in origin (they didn't convert till around 900AD or so).
The name was changed, it was shortened to just 1 day, and a few things (like animal sacrifice) were done away with, but beyond that, it's the same holiday as always, just with a manger story tacked on top.
Great idea. Finally a way to let retailers know they change or close. We the consumer will have the final say. IS this a politically correct thing? Merry Christmas.
GREAT video! The American Family Foundation has a list of CHRISTmas friendly stores vs. Scrooge stores. I'll be shopping at places which are not afraid to wish me a Merry CHRISTmas.
Vote with your dollar. You should probably be aware however that the church high-jacked the winter holiday of other cultures. Christ was born in the spring.
I almost bought some towels this year from Kohl's but when I saw the words Happy Holidays on them instead of Christmas I changed my mind. They had Christmas tress & candy canes on them! The Merry Tossmas video has changed my attitude. I refuse to buy now if they refuse to say it. And all those catalogs are trash. Merry Christmas!
I'm an atheist and I only have one thing to say:
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Everywhere we go we wish everyone a "Merry Christmas"... We have gotten bright smiles and a "Merry Christmas" in return!

a teacher told me
when you go to walmart or target and when you're going to buy something
if they say
"Happy Holidays!!" you say
"Oh, I was just going to buy this but since you say Happy Holidays then I guess I can't! Merry Tossmas!!"

But by including everyone, are they really acknowledging anyone?

Question: What holiday has the most money spent on it?
danheg 3 years ago 2
Yes, but Christmas is the main holiday. Most stores don't close on the others.

If one of my kids make me a card and gives it to me six months later, I will not care because it shows the love of a child.
So we celebrate Christmas when we do and if any retailer wants my money, it will acknowledge that.

I remember the first "Merry Tossmas" for 2007.
This video is nowhere near as funny as the first, but it does a good job re-promoting what the first one did.
Who the heck is Joe Plumber anyway?
Merry Christmas!
