happy holidays

Phrase

 * 1)  A greeting used during the Christmas and winter holiday season to recognize the celebration of many holidays, sometimes starting with Thanksgiving and including Hanukkah, the winter solstice, Christmas, Kwanzaa, and New Year's Day.
 * 2) * Madeleine Mayfair, What Should I Write? 101 Holiday Wishes for Greeting Cards
 * Season's greetings and happy holidays!
 * Season's greetings and happy holidays!

Usage notes

 * This greeting is typically used only during the winter holiday season, not at other times of the year.
 * The use of Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, etc. vs Happy Holidays is disputed. Some non-Christians find it offensive to be told "Merry Christmas"; conversely, some Christians take offence at being wished "Happy Holidays". "Happy holidays" may be seen by some Christians as a shorter way of saying "merry Christmas and happy New Year" and therefore not offensive.
