Ricky Van Veen's GET EXCITED

December 25, 2007

A Note On “Happy Holidays” vs. “Merry Christmas”

Now that I have two more hours of this being even slightly relevant, I’ll weigh in. I’m a fan of saying “Merry Christmas” opposed to “Happy Holidays.” I feel like the former has more meaning behind it — more specificity, less vagueness. You’re actually communicating something to the person as opposed to passing along some social convention. 

I’m not a relgious person. In fact, I think religion is like, totally gay. But Christmas to me isn’t a Christian Holiday. It’s an American holiday. And America fuckin’ rocks.
