Google's 'happy Holidays' Logo.

[Khandro]

Is it to you Christmas, or a 'holiday'?

[jno]

for Google users in the southern hemisphere, these are the main holidays.

One size never fits all, does it?

The expression has been around for a long time, in America.

I'm amazed at the narrow thinking of so many on here.
That logo is most likely appearing every where from here to Saudi Arabia. Its not just about Christmas in the UK. Christmas is celebrated in January in some countries...."merry christmas" is certainly 'one size fits all'. There are probably plenty of non Christians who observe the day as a holiday...without acknowledging any religious connection to it.

"Merry christmas " is *not* one size fits all.....

[Khandro]

But Tilly, that's not about Christmas, its about vacation.

I have no religious connection to Christmas, but the day is called Christmas Day, so lets say Happy Christmas, or nothing at all. Not Happy Holidays.

According to wiki.…....

A holiday is a day set aside by custom or by law on which normal activities, especially business or work, are suspended or reduced. Generally holidays are intended to allow individuals to celebrate or commemorate an event or tradition of cultural or religious significance. Holidays may be designated by governments, religious institutions, or other groups or organizations. The degree to which normal activities are reduced by a holiday may depend on local laws, customs, the type of job being held or even personal choices.

Does anyone know what the Saudis have on their Google screens today? - access from outside is not allowed, doesn't seem much point in sending them a picture of a horse-drawn sleigh though.

It's Christmas, always was and always will be.
