Holiday greetings

Holi­day gree­tings are a sel­ec­tion of good­will gree­tings used around the world to address stran­gers, fami­ly, cowor­kers or fri­ends during the Christ­mas and holi­day sea­son which spans an appro­xi­ma­te time­frame of late Novem­ber through Janu­ary. Holi­days gene­ral­ly thought to be included in this sea­son include Christ­mas, New Year’s Day, Hanuk­kah, Boxing Day or Saint Stephen’s Day, Epi­pha­ny, Thanks­gi­ving and Kwanz­aa. Some gree­tings are more pre­va­lent than others, depen­ding on the cul­tu­ral and reli­gious sta­tus of any given area. Typi­cal­ly, a gree­ting con­sists of the word „Hap­py“ fol­lo­wed by the holi­day, such as „Hap­py New Year“ or „Hap­py Hanuk­kah“. Excep­ti­ons include „Mer­ry Christ­mas“ and „Season’s Greetings“.
