I wrote an article earlier this year (around Canadian Thanksgiving time) in the Winters Free Press about the use of Happy Holidays vs more specific holiday greetings. I recently was also talking to one of my friends about this as well. As an atheist, I feel left out as I don't really have a thing to say, however I tend to go with Merry Christmas as that is what my family celebrates at home. I could go with the Merry Festivus, but I choose not too.
This time of year gives me a warm feeling inside. Not because of any religious belief or because of gifts I may receive or give. This has been the time of year where my whole family (over 60 people) gets together. This has always been my favorite holiday for that reason. Although recently this has not been happening as much, it is still nice to think to the days that it did.
That said, I look forward to getting together with all of you at Happy Holidays Pub Night, sharing a drink, perhaps some darts and holiday cheer as our exams come to an end.
From my family and I to yours, Cheers, and Merry Christmas.
