The only use of "Happy Holidays" that's actually ever offended me.

It's a radio commercial for Verizon. For the most part, it's your typical done-to-death "rhyming is inherently Christmassy" kind of ad.

But they end it with "Happy Holidays to all, and to all a good night."

Really? Why even reference that poem at all if you're gonna intentionally butcher it??

that is pretty daft

The problem with "Happy Holidays" is how token it is

It is almost NEVER not just used in place of "Merry Christmas"

I say we abolish Christmas and replace it with Misery Day where we all sit in our homes and contemplate the ills of the world.

I don't really like Christmas anymore, but it's like the only part of winter that people actually like, so no

You don't like Christmas even though it means getting to see Centie? :o

Well, that's one of the good parts of it
