We prefer "Merry Christmas"

Americans by a huge majority prefer "Merry Christmas" to "Happy Holidays" as a greeting.

That's according to Rasmussen Reports, which surveyed 1,000 adults on Nov. 20-21, producing a result with a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percent with a 95 percent level of confidence.

The national telephone survey revealed 72 percent of adults prefer "Merry Christmas" on signs greeting them with a seasonal message. Only 22 percent wanted "Happy Holidays."

The survey revealed older Americans favor "Merry Christmas" more than younger adults. Married adults like the traditional greeting more than unmarrieds.
