2. I'm not a religious person, but I don't mind saying Merry Christmas in return to someone
|
saying it to me. If I initiate a holiday greeting, I'll say Happy Holidays. I do that mostly out of respect because I don't always know what everyone's beliefs are. I also use Happy Holidays when I definitely know that the person is not a Christian. For example, one of my bosses is Jewish. He wished me a Merry Christmas today and I wished him Happy Holidays in return. It tells him I respect his beliefs and it also might give him a clue as to mine.

16. Well that's a start for my family

...but after New Years both of daughter's birthdays are in January. The holidays really get going then for Groundhog Day closely followed by Valentine's Day. Saint Patty's Day keeps things alive through March then both my wife and I have birthdays in April.
For us the "holidays" are about 5 months long. 
So HAPPY HOLIDAYS  |
