Merry Christmas!

[RCFox]

I had read somewhere which americans try not to say each other happy christmas instead they say happy holidays because of preventing sectarian and religious strifes and conflicts as the USA has a constitutional separation of church and state
by the way it is being celeberated in Iran ofcourse by those incogitant of two worlds
(however we celeberate our new year in the begining of spring which is called norooz)
Merry Christmas!

It comes down to two issues.

One is a concern about showing proper respect to religious minorities in the US. Some here refer to that as "political correctness". I find that term itself to be condescending. There might well be times when the majority's worries about "playing fair" are pressed beyond reason, but it seems to happen infrequently.

The other comes about from some in the majority playing the part of an oppressed minority. The issues are framed in that way with the hope it will further those legal arguments which seek to broaden their rights. For example, wishing to have their religious symbols displayed on public property. Some claim to recognize no wall of separation regarding church and state.

I think the overwhelming majority of Americans simply wish to be inclusive.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and an early wish of Happy Norooz to all.
