Do you say Happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays?

Every year it seems to be the center of some conversation and this year Focus On The Family is talking about it and petitioning. They're calling the petition, 'I Stand For Christmas' and 'Merry Tossmas.' That's because they want people to toss magazines that say Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas.

But don't be confused. They're not trying to start a boycott, they just want to send a message. So they produced a short video clip with their message which you can find at, http://www.citizenlink.org/Stoplight/A000008654.cfm

"It's a little tongue and cheek it's meant to be funny," said Stuart Shepard who is the Focus On The Family Media Director.

It's the second year in a row that they have petitioned and made a video about it.

"What's so offensive about the word, 'Christmas'," said Shepard.

Shepard says they've called dozens of retailers who explained to them, "We want to appeal to everyone," said Shepard.

Some people say they understand. "Out in the professional world you do what you have to do," said Jaime Garcia who said she prefers to say Happy Holidays.

While others say if you're selling Christmas items then you should say, 'Christmas'. "That's what the stores are selling for," said Kristin Kosley who prefers to say Merry Christmas.

But what about the other winter holidays like Kwanzaa and Hanukkah? "It doesn't matter to me," said Garcia. "Put Hanukkah on the cover, we don't mind," said Shepard.

Shepard says he'd just like to see advertisers promoting more personal ads because everyone is always going to have an opinion.

"It's Merry Christmas and that's the way it should stay," said Kosley.

"I typically say Happy Holidays because I don't know who I'm going to offend," said Garcia.
