4 Reasons Why We Say "Happy Holidays"
1. Because it's more convenient than saying "Merry Christmas and Happy New Year." or "Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year."
2. Because the word "merry" is not a word that is really in common usage. No one says "Merry birthday" or "that sure was a merry party last night!" It just feels a bit twee, it doesn't trip easily off the tongue.
3. Because we're not particularly bothered by the fact that some people celebrate Channukah or Ashura, or Saturnalia or even nothing.
4. TO DESTROY EVERYTHING YOU HOLD SACRED!!!! BWA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-!!!!!!!
So many words.

Feeling merry, lads?
Pip, pip!
