More Information about Happy Holidays
It is disrespectful to some non-Christians to hear “Merry Christmas;” on the opposite, some Christians take offence to be told “happy holidays.”
Were you aware that there are approximately 29 holidays of 7 religions between the 1st November to the 15th January? Saying “happy holidays” means that others who are not permitted to celebrate Christmas but could enjoy some other holiday at the same times are included and valued.
Happy vacations are not meant to take Christmas away it is just to include those who do not celebrate Christmas.
If, to someone is celebrating Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or anything else, you say “Merry Christmas,” you can make them feel marginalised: they have no value in themselves, or they are respected by society.
And this is not a good holiday memory. Use the broader word, if you don’t realise what everyone else celebrates It’s just as easy.
This is an accommodating means of wishing someone well and showing that you value the tradition and support it.
When there are multiple religions living in a country it is necessary to respect the sentiments of every religious group.
Happy holidays in different languages has many names. It is used for wish Season’s greetings.
Happy Holidays is usually used at the end of year or to wish someone farewell and acknowledge them to enjoy time and have fun.
