It's always fun to learn things...sometimes. So in that spirit...
 

 Merry Christmas - A secular greeting

 that became the main season greeting

 courtesy of one Charles Dickens from the story "A Christmas Carol", 1843.
 

 Happy Christmas - Another secular greeting used more than Merry Christmas, pre-1843.
 

 Happy Holidays - A religious greeting, as

 the word "holiday" is an old English word meaning "Holy Day".
 

 Season's Greetings - Another secular greeting, early 20th century.

 

 Happy Nude Deer - Early 21st century Furry New Year's greeting, (definitely non-religious, unless you are a Furry... religiously).

 

 

 So..
 Merry Christmas SkunkworksAMA Fans!

 

 

 And now...Sing Along time!
 

 Choir:
 

 We wish you a Merry Xmas,
 We wish you a Merry Xmas,
 We wish you a Merry Xmas annnnd Please buy our beer!!!
 

 Scrooge: There ya go Cratchit. That's Xmas with a purpose!
 

 Scrooge: Xmas has two S's in it and their both dollar signs.
 

 May everyone receive the presents and gifts they deserve
 ...
 

 (Yeah. That came out ok.)
 

 2018 is right around the corner.
