Holiday season
2011.11.14 Mon
While Halloween isn't the beginning of the holiday season, it's very close. November is the official beginning of the Holiday season in the states. You'll often hear us say, "Happy Holidays" as oppose to saying: "Happy Thanksgiving's Day," "Merry Christmas," "Happy Hanukkah," "Happy Kwanzaa," and "Happy New Year." There are so many different festivals from November to January, it's just easier and a bit more polite to say "Happy Holidays," and a lot less confusing. I suppose it's because America was such a melting pot of culture in it's early days.
