The only thing is, is many old Christmas-time carols and hymns use the word 'holidays'. There's that song: "There Is No Place Like Home For The Holidays". Also, a lot of old carols, and Christmas-time songs like: "Jingle Bells", "Winter Wonderland", "Silent Night", "Here We Come A Caroling", "Happy Holidays", "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town", etc. You do like to listen to those do you?

I sure do. Always have. I love "The Christmas Song," and "Winter Wonderland" and just about every other Christmas song. But I enjoy the "Jingle Bells", "Winter Wonderland" etc, songs ALONGSIDE and not IN PLACE OF, the more obvious Christmas songs concerning Christ's birth.

I remember as a kid, my family used to shop at a local Sears which piped in Christmas music. They played "Happy Holidays", "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town", etc. but they also played "Oh, Come All Ye Faithful," and "Hark the Herald Angels Sing." To my knowledge, no one threw a PC coniption fit and stormed out of Sears because the muzak said the word "Christmas."
