Holiday is an ok greeting if you understand it etymology. From Wiki------

Holiday
Holiday is a contraction of holy and day, holidays originally represented special religious days. This word has evolved in general usage to mean any extra special day of rest (as opposed to regular days of rest such as the weekend). Countrywide Holidays stands for when everybody plans for holidays or a break. Under many belief systems, days of rest are necessary for ritual or spiritual rejuvenation.
Quote:
Holy days originated in the Bible as 7 annual Holy Days the Jews or children of Israel were commanded to keep as instructed by Moses (who received it from the Lord or Yahweh (the Eternal One)). Outlined in Leviticus 23 are the 7 annual Holy Days that were to be kept. The word holi-day has replaced "Holy-Day" in todays english.

I need a new word of the month people!
Here's a holiday standard among standards in the UK. dikkie has probably heard it already this year. It's been out there for 20 years, and every year it climbs the British top 75. (As opposed to the US top 40.)
Watch the video closely at the beginning - that's Matt Dillon as the arresting officer.

So Rox, what do we say to the libertarians in the crowd? Eh, doesn't matter to me. I am very happy with "Merry Christmas" and just finished the opening of the gifts from under the tree.
Merry Christmas everyone.
