Every year, and it has started, already, this year, people post that some are taking Christ out of Christmas. Good Lord! How is that even possible? It isn't. So what, if someone in a retail store says "Happy Holidays," instead of "Merry Christmas?"
There are many different religions, in the world, and in this country, There are many different religious holidays, many of which are around the same time as Christmas. As a former business owner, I understand greeting customers with "Happy Holidays" then you are covering any holiday they might be celebrating.
Almost always, if you say Merry Christmas first, the store employee will respond with Merry Christmas. I admit, it is not always a sure thing, you may say "Merry Christmas," and get a "Happy Holidays" in return.
Personally, I don't, always, need to say "Merry Christmas" to every person I see. Seriously, do you really think that is taking Christ out of Christmas.
