Merry Christmas vs Happy Holidays!
I have always loved saying Merry Christmas to people, but I noticed over the last couple of years I would also say Happy Holidays to people. Especially if that’s what they said to me first. I mean it was just as easy to say Happy Holidays as it was Merry Christmas, but it wasn’t as much fun to say.
This year I decided to do something different. I went to see Kirk Cameron’s movie Saving Christmas and I loved it. By the end of the movie I decided wherever I went, whatever store I went to I would wish someone a Merry Christmas. I have done this all month. When I was done paying for something I would wish the cashier a Merry Christmas. If I saw someone in passing I would wish them a Merry Christmas. If some said Happy Holidays to me I would reply with Merry Christmas.
Do you know what happened every time I wished someone a Merry Christmas this month? Their faces lit up, they smiled a big smile and they said “Merry Christmas to you too!” It was an awesome feeling to see those faces light up when they heard me say Merry Christmas to them! I wish more people would say Merry Christmas instead of Happy Holidays. Why? Because Merry Christmas has a much warmer feeling to it and it puts a smile on a persons face. So with that said.
Merry Christmas everyone!
