My, you are full of Seasonal Joy, aren't you?
Perhaps these will help:
Somewhere in Germany, there is a man whose whole life's job is to fit indicators to BMW's.

But in Germany they have German beer.
And I will sample a few in the coming weeks.

My wife suggested I buy my brother a humorous T-shirt for Christmas, and I know he's my brother and all, but I just don't give a shirt.

I thought you Brits said Happy Christmas?
I know this because I saw it in a Harry Potter movie. Since so many people believe American society / life is depicted honestly by Hollywood - it's only fair that Americans accept the same about the UK. Speaking of... what house were you sorted into when you attended Hogwarts?

If we're getting drunk, it's merry Christmas  Oh, and Hufflepuff. 23 classmates killed off in the first year alone, those end of year exams were brutal.

I'd go with Merry Holidays, Delightful Christmas, and Safe Driving as a compromise.

I have noticed an increasing tendency for people to say [eg. in internet forums] Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas. Holidays ofc seems a bit politer and all including.
But I have a feeling that this trend is stronger in the US than in the UK. Would you agree?
... such stuff as dreams are made on

Probably, Americans are scared of themselves.

We don't really refer to any specific holidays as "the holidays" in the UK - probably because we have far more holidays than the U.S.

I've started wishing people a Merry Badtis, mostly just to confuse them.

They are trying to make it non-Christian, in order not to offend non-Christians (e.g. Muslims, Hindus etc.). But it is rather ridiculous as very few people of other religions are offended by it. The Rector of our parish usually receives a Christmas card from the local Imam.
There was a performance of the Christmas story on TV (in the UK: BBC Two - Alternativity[^] ) the other night. It was the idea of Banksy and Danny Boyle, and was performed by a mix of Israeli and Palestinian children. The theatre was just near the Walled Off Hotel in Bethlehem.

This, of course, from your comprehensive survey!
Or perhaps these people are just, holding their piece/peace, and pretending it's OK. Anecdotes are, at best, a pathetic dogear. "Some of my best friends . . . " "One of our lawyers . . . "
Well, it's ![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) ing inconsiderate. Or would that that Rector be as happy to receive cards from Satanists flaunting their holidays? Maybe, following your anecdote, he should send some to the local Wiccans !
Want to show holiday spirit? How about considering that Golden Rule? Which, by the way, applies all year round - not just near the end of the fiscal year. Instead of the usual lip-service that will about good will.
