Tired of people saying "Happy Holidays", the owners of Hewlett and Dunn boot barn in Tennessee decided to reward customers with a 5% discount for saying "Merry Christmas". The reasoning behind it: To them Christmas is not anything but the birth of Christ.

It sounds like an excellent idea. It also is an easy way to get a discount. I would say Merry Christmas to everyone no matter what religion they are. Happy Holidays does not have any meaning, and it's emotionless. Saying Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas is like saying "it" instead of a person's name. People who get angry, disgusted, upset, or offended by someone saying Merry Christmas may be considered not worthy of talking too.
"Goodbye it."
I like better:
"Ho Ho Ho, Merry Christmas, and to all a good night!"-

I like Happy Holidays. I don't now what holiday--or holidays--you celebrate, and I don't want to say nothing. Besides, Happy Holidays also includes New Years.

I'm with sgwhites on that one. The phrase is all encompassing.

It's not like calling someone "it", it's like calling someone by a different name. In case you hadn't noticed, Christmas isn't the only holiday during the "holiday season". There's Hannakuh (sp?), Kwanzaa, New Year's, and probably a few other more obscure ones I'm forgetting. Saying "Happy Holidays" is simply acknowledging the season to strangers without assuming their chosen holiday. If you KNOW someone is celebrating Christmas, by all means, wish them a Merry Christmas. But otherwise, why assume that everyone does so? It's kind of rude. -
I got so used to saying it because I worked in a public facility, it's happy ramadan, dewali, thanksgiving, christmas, guy fawkes day, day of the dead, chanakuh, advent, christmas,Quanza, new years, between Nov1st-Jan1st and we had parties celebratign half of those! I just gave up and started saying happy holidays.
