Letter: Let me have a Merry Christmas, not Happy Holidays

Has anyone noticed that all holidays have a name. Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, etc. Then comes Dec. 25 and no name. It’s Happy Holidays.

It has a name, Christmas. How anyone can be afraid of Christmas amazes me. If you choose to have a Happy Holiday, let me have a Merry Christmas.
