Ok, not really STARTED it, but the thread about Easter made me think of it.

How do you greet people around the holidays? Do you say "Merry Christmas", "Happy Holidays", "Happy Festivus", "Happy Chanukah", or something else specific?

And how do you respond if someone gives the "incorrect" greeting to you? Do you respond back with the same, or respond with your own greeting?

Personally, I say "Merry Christmas", and "Happy Easter", and all that good jazz, because those are the holidays I celebrate. I don't take personal offense if someone wishes me a happy Chanukah, or Festivus, I just don't personally celebrate those holy times, and choose not to offer them as a greeting myself, unless someone does it first. If someone says "Happy Kwanzaa", I will reply back with the same.
