Sri.Prasad, Grretings.

Thank you. Wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy new year.

I am curious. Everyone knows this is Christmas season, Chiristmas holidays; but, why people are greeting others with ' happy holidays'? I can't digest it. It is rather unsettling to see people greet me with 'happy holidays' and to some other person 'merry Christmas'. I was told greeting 'happy holidays' is politically correct way of doing it; but it is not. Thanfully, still in the OZ, I can get Christmas greeting cards and greet others 'Merry Christmas'.

Cheers!
 
Call me a fanatic but I dont know why Hindus greet fellow Hindus "Merry Christmas".
I find it funny actually becos you never hear Christians wishing fellow Christians "Happy Diwali/Deepavali"
Once I tried wishing a Christian friend "Happy Diwali" and outright she told me "I am not a Hindu".

Anway since everyone is in the Christmas mood this song is for everyone..

Christmas and holiday greetings - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The collective phrase "Happy Holidays" is often used as a generic cover-all greeting for all of the winter holidays: Thanksgiving, Christmas Day, New Year's Day, Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa; and is commonly used throughout North America and Europe. It is being implemented around the world, especially for businesses to attract a wider range of customers than those who observe any particular celebration.

A doubt arises in my mind, when I looked at Happy Holidays. Hanuka, is known as
Festival of Lights (Candle), an event celebrated by the Greek Religion, say
started some 2 Centuries ago or so. Festival of lights, what we celebrate here
during Deepavali, Karthigai have any significance to that. Whether this Hindu
Culture has spread over to that place.
