Why did you say Happy

Why did you say Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas? It is not even more politically correct as the word holiday comes from "holy day".

Nothing is more religiously neutral than the Fonz

​Day comes from the

​Day comes from the word Dæzikiel, the Christian angel of the sun. So Happy Days wont work either.

That is St Uriel and origins

That is St Uriel and origins of the word "Day" have been around a lot longer than Christian times. So we are still good with Happy Days ;-)

day (n.)
Old English dæg "day," also "lifetime," from Proto-Germanic *dagaz (cf. Old Saxon, Middle Dutch, Dutch dag, Old Frisian dei, Old High German tag, German Tag, Old Norse dagr, Gothic dags), from PIE *dhegh-.

Not considered to be related to Latin dies (see diurnal), but rather to Sanskrit dah "to burn," Lithuanian dagas "hot season," Old Prussian dagis "summer." Meaning originally, in English, "the daylight hours;" expanded to mean "the 24-hour period" in late Anglo-Saxon times. Day off first recorded 1883; day-tripper first recorded 1897. The days in nowadays, etc. is a relic of the Old English and Middle English use of the adverbial genitive.

Proto-Germanic sounds like

Proto-Germanic sounds like the word German, which is a country that was once called the Holy Roman Empire, and holy is a religious word.
