Why do Americans say "Happy Holidays"? It's not really an expression used here in the UK, but in a bid to please my US-based customers I thought I'd try it out on a new greeting card.
The reason Americans say Happy Holidays is because New Years and Christmas are so close, plus to avoid offending anyone who doesn't celebrate Christmas, such as those who celebrate Chanukah or Kwanzaa.
I am definitely a doggie person but am still a poor college student living in an apartment so getting a kitten was the only reasonable solution to my pet desire.
Prudence is my first pet I've ever had! Unless you count the chicken I raised in third grade for six weeks. haha!

I think, it's to do with that polically correct thingy re not offending other religions!!!
ReplyDeleteBut, its Christmas to me and I'm not religious @ all.
Love the card.
By the way - how did you get Snowy to pose???

We all say different things depending on where we are. If we work in a public place that wont allow us to express ourselves then we say Happy Holiday.
ReplyDeleteThat snowy wire fox terrier is the sweetest little guy!

Our hooman would like to buy some of your cards.
ReplyDeleteShe likes the Airedale card and the Christmas cards.
Would it be a good idea for her to collect them on 7th December?
