This year it's pretty much just "Merry Christmas". We usually say "Happy Holidays", so as to include our Jewish friends, whose observance of Hanukkah often falls in the Christmas season. But this year Hanukkah came so early that it coincided with the U.S. "Thanksgiving" celebration, resulting in that rarest of holidays, "Thanksgivukkah". :^) Bob |
