while it seems everyone else says ‘happy christmas’

which imo is a way better phrase, it’s very … pragmatic. happiness is more attainable than merriment. how often is anyone merry?

    The great irony there being “happy holidays” is from the Old English (language, not malt liquor) for “happy holy days.”

      The great irony being that Bing Crosby had a very famous song called “happy holidays” that is featured in the movie “holiday inn” and if you don’t like a Bing Crosby Christmas movie you’re a goddamn communist.
