K of C Poll: Americans Prefer "Merry Christmas;" More Than Double Prefer It to "Happy Holidays"

A Knights of Columbus (K of C) poll conducted last month shows that Americans still prefer the traditional "Merry Christmas" greeting, as opposed to the phrase "Happy Holidays," the Christian Post website reports today (December 21, 2011).

Sixty-four percent of adults believe people should say "Merry Christmas," while 31 percent believe that the appropriate greeting should be "Happy Holidays," according to the poll.

"That we prefer 'Merry Christmas' by such a wide margin is indicative of the importance that Christmas has in the lives of the great majority of Americans," said Knights of Columbus Supreme Knight Carl Anderson.

The Knights of Columbus is the world's largest Catholic fraternal service organization.
