6. For me, as an Orthodox Xtian, the holidays don't end until after Jan 6

where we celebrate Epiphany. My church celebrates December 24-25 as the Feast of Stephen.

And other cultures celebrate January 6 as well.

The Brits celebrate Twelth Night.

In some Latin/Central/Caribbean countries, January 6 means the Feast of the 3 Kings, in others, it's the kick-off to Carnival season.

So yes, Season's Greetings is meant to be inclusive.
