Happy Holidays? So generic and PC. Probably a term invented by an atheist hippie.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, dammit.
Um Jesus was a 1st century Palestinian Jew.Not surprisingly he practiced Jewish Laws/Customs/Rituals.This is the reason many Christian Holidays/Traditions coincide time wise with those of the Jewish Religion/Calendar - Hanukka the Jewish festival of lights.There was a Roman Pagan Festival that landed around the Time of the Winter Solstice also.When Roman Emperor Constantin converted to Christianity(3rd or 4th Century) the Empire basically did too and used its date.So even though I'm a recovering Lutheran who celebrates Christmas I give a tip of the cap to other traditions also.Now that's hardly PC and much older than you.Dammit!
