Tprranc, the end of the year was first celebrated by Pagans, not Christians. There are other holidays celebrated during this time of year that are older then Christianity itself. So you're actually wrong. People who say "Seasons Greetings" would still be saying "Seasons Greetings" even if Christmas didn't exist. Educate yourself.
Its my opinion,That the people that wish you a "" Happy Holiday"" would not have the honor of saying it,if it weren't for "Christmas'And Jesus Christs Birthday,Because there would not be a Holiday to say it in!!!
"It is "Christ"mas, even if you don't believe, no one tries to change the name of any other faith based celebration!"
Yes... Christ's mass. Forget about the holidays which christmas hijacked... solstice, saturnalia, yule, and juvenalia to name a few. Let us also forget that Jesus of Nazareth was not even born in december in light of historical census information and animal husbandry cycle.
Can't we just say 'happy holidays' and still get across the message of goodwill towards all, the eminent return to warmer temps, and longer days?
I think a combination of A and C would be proper here. it's a shame that even 5% of the people think gifts are the favorite part. even if not religious friends and family should rank higher than answer "B"

Much too comercialized!!!!! Drop the gift-giving. Celebrate Christ's birth - that is why this world is in such a downspin and going no-where!

I think a. should be the highest percentage, then c. should be next, with b. coming in at ZERO. Except for food for the meal, I'm spending nothing.

The question isn't *what is the meaning of Christmas, or what is the purpose of Christmas, or what is the Politically correct answer about Christmas.
I'm shocked that only 5% enjoy giving too their family & friends and/or receiving gifts from family and friends.
Personally I enjoy all three.
