[QUOTE="SoonerDVM, post: 1401148, member: 7961"] It depends on the circumstance. [U]In a professional setting[/U] I'm more likely to say something like "Happy Holidays!" That is not JUST because I don't know what holiday they are celebrating, but because I probably won't see them again before the New Year, so I'm including THAT holiday as well. I do, however, ask myself if I would be offended if someone wished me a happy Hanukkah or a good Ramadan - I wouldn't be... but I can certainly see where there are plenty who would. So... out of consideration for others, for efficiency, and, yes, so as not to offend those who believe differently from me and AND who are paying me, I will say Happy Holidays. I will go on to say, however, that when I do say Happy Holidays it is NOT because I want to diminish the celebration of the birth of Jesus. In a personal setting - Merry Christmas. [/QUOTE]
