I have always been confused with what to wish the other person especially when I have made my purchases from the sales associate and want to part from her.
Should I wish her, "Happy Holidays" OR "Merry Christmas"
I try to scan the associate of what ethnicity she is, and there have been times that I make a mistake...Result...that smirk indicating, "I don't celebrate it."
Question?
Should it really matter, as long as I am wished something?
Honestly, I don't mind being wished any of the above. Since, that gives me another excuse to be jolly and merry.
Mantra for today: Tolerance towards other religions and ethnicity is good for one's mind and body.

I know I always try to do Happy holidays, but being raised Catholic and celebrating Christmas I do sometimes forget. Good post and Happy holidays Ruchira :)
Great post Ruchira...As a Jew who is married to a Catholic, we celebrate it all and thus, I go with Happy Holidays. But, you're right, it shouldn't matter as long as we are wished something...
Glad to read your feedbacks, Janine and Ohboymom!
Happy Holidays and a Merry Christmas :)
Personally, I love it when I get wished "happy" or "merry" anything. :) I'm just grateful that people care enough to want to send on happy holidays or merry christmas or happy hanukkah or happy kawanzaa. :) It's a time for celebration; why get offended at someone's well wishes?
Dear Ruchira,
Stopping by from the Christmas Blog Hop ;-)
So nice to meet you -- Sweet post!
Wishing YOU a Very, Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year!
In the past few days I have thought the same thing, Ruchira, when wishing my HP friends a Merry Christmas. I decided it made no difference whether they were Christian or not....it is in the wishing of happiness and blessings that makes it a universal greeting.
Merry Christmas, Ruchira, and blessings to you and yours always.
I've noticed in the quest to be "PC" people are so sensitive to the salutations that are given at this time of year. I say Merry Christmas myself or Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays so it's all encompassing. I hope you had a very Merry Christmas!!
