We say 'happy holidays' because there is many religions with there own holiday around the same time. Christmas is only 1 of them.

We made a separation of church and state for a good reason. Its like saying children should read the bible in public schools. Why should they read the bible and not another of the many diverse holy books?

Happy Holidays!!

You got that right it will always be Merry Christmas to me and if I ran this country prayer would go back in the schools and just a little info no I dont go to church but I still believe in God and STILL BELIEVE THAT THE BLLS SHOULD SAY IN GOD WE TRUST!!! Maybe I was raised old school but I dont see were it harmed anyone when these things were there. If we went to other countrys you think they would stop what they believe in because others did not NOT shshshshshshsh bigsmile flowerforyou bigsmile
