Happy Holidays
Festive December wish
Happy Holidays is a seasonal greeting used during the winter holiday period, roughly from late November through early January.
It encompasses Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and New Year's without specifying any particular celebration: Happy Holidays from our family to yours.
The phrase became a flashpoint in American culture wars, with some viewing it as inclusive and others as an affront to Christmas traditions.
