    I'd rather have someone say Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, happy Kwanzaa, happy holidays.... And not worry about what I celebrate... It's much better than what I usually hear working in Public Transportation.

    @Phatchris -- I gotta pull for you now. I won't feel as bad if you win. you gotta hope Murray is healthy. It looks to me like you got teh better team and Brady is playing the Jets.

    Sorry about hi-jacking my own thread ;) . Hope it gets back on track.

    What do you think the correct etiquette is, when wishing someone "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Holidays" or  "Happy Hanukkah" etc......

    Should it be the decision of  the one doing the greeting /wishing or should you take into consideration the religious background of the person you are addressing?

    Example: You are Christian and you know that your neighbor is Jewish. Do you say, "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Hanukkah"?  

    Then supposed you have no idea what their religious background is. Do you use the generic "Happy Holidays" greeting ?

    believe it should be up to the person giving the greeting. The receiver of the greeting should accept the greeting out of respect for your religious background.

    I don't want to live my life worried about if or who I might offend. As long as I'm being sincere, shouldn't it be their problem?

    Merry Christmas!

    I only celebrate Festivus now.
