Survey | Americans Shift Preference for "Happy Holidays" over "Merry Christmas"

Nearly half (49%) of Americans agree stores and businesses should greet their customers with "happy holidays" or "season's greetings" instead of "merry Christmas" out of respect for people of different faiths. However,a substantial minority (43%) disagree.  Support for saying "happy holidays" or "season's greetings" is up slightly since December 2010, when 44% preferred that businesses use less religious greetings.
