Poll: Is It Happy Holidays or Merry Christmas?

The choice of words for the season angers many.

Is it just political correctness to say "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas" at this time of year?

Some people think it's just cultural sensitivity to say "Happy Holidays." But others find it annoying and offensive to Christians to not recognize the meaning of the season. Still others say it's just a retailer trick to get people to shop without thinking about faith.

A Religion News Service poll last year found Americans split on the issue of whether retailers should use a generic greeting out of respect for people of different faiths.
