Excerpted from Washington Secrets: Take your “Happy Holidays” and shove it. Finally, there’s proof that Americans prefer “Merry Christmas.”
By a wide margin, 68 percent to 23 percent, Americans prefer stores with signs that say “Merry Christmas” during the Christmas holidays than the more generic and secular “Happy Holidays,” according to a new Rasmussen Reports survey.
And in all 34 of the categories the accurate and prominent pollster looks at, “Merry Christmas” was the hands-down winner.
A few examples:
– Among men, it’s 69 percent for “Merry Christmas,” compared to 22 percent for “Happy Holidays.”
– Women: 67 percent to 23 percent.
– Whites: 69 percent to 20 percent.
