As I shopped this year in the malls and stores before Christmas I was greeted more times than in recent years with a ‘Merry Christmas’ rather than the generic ‘Happy Holidays.’
Also far more stores had signs with the ‘Merry Christmas’ greeting on them than in any recent memory. Most stores now carried a variety of holiday greetings in order to please as many as possible.
I know that this is anecdotal evidence at best but the polls did show that a majority of Americans like the traditional greeting.
