Yes, Holy Days. The people who seem to want to get all bent out of shape 
over "Christmas" because of it's religious roots seem to overlook the 
religious roots of "holiday". One might also argue that Christmas, now 
being largely a secular holiday, no longer bears its original meaning, 
either.

Umm, to wish you joy and happiness? Now if you don't WANT to be joyful 
and happy on Christimas, well...

Oops, you're right. I was trying to combine several posts and got my 
attributions all skitter-widdle. My apologies both to you and the words' 
true owner, susanmcgee48176.

How about if this close friend wishes you joy and happiness on BOTH 
Christmas and your favorite holiday?
