4. I try to vary them
and make a point of wishing people a happy (some holiday they don't celebrate) just to be contrary.

7. Depends on who I am talking to
Could be happy holidays, merry christmas, or happy hannukah. And I know someone is celebrating Kwanza, I'd say "Happy Kwanza!" even though I'd be kind of laughing at it on the inside. And if they say they celebrate the solstice, then it's "happy Solstice!" or whatever.

If I don't what, iof any, religion they are, I just say "happy holidays".

10. I use Happy Holidays for everyone.
It's non-sectarian and, most importantly, it doesn't offend *me* when I say it.
