Holiday, or Christmas?

Wanna see just how ridiculous it is to substitute the word "holiday" for the word "Christmas"? Take any of your favorite Christmas carols or movies and everywhere you find the word "Christmas", simply substitute the word "holiday" instead. It will sound just as silly and ridiculous as it does to hear someone say "happy holiday" instead of "Merry Christmas".


Examples: "I'm dreaming of a white holiday..", or "The 12 days of holiday...", or "Oh holiday tree, oh holiday tree...", or "Grandma got run over by a reindeer, walking home for our house holiday eve...", or "I'll be home for holiday...".


See how horrid and ridiculous those sound? Someone saying "happy holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas" hits my ears the same way. I'm just sayin...
