Title: How do you handle "Happy Holidays' when you prefer "Merry Christmas?"

I work every year doing telephone order entry and answer calls from all over the nation. We are supposed to say, "Happy Holidays," but many make a point to subvert this by pointedly answering or wishing "Merry Christmas."

And they do it in a way that makes it plain they don't much like the PCness of Happy Holidays.

How do you deal with a clerk, salesman or someone taking orders who use the PC when you want it like you feel it or believe it?

Just curious. I have to go get back on the phones, but I would find it interesting to check out the group think here on this.

Happy Holidays folks. ;-)

Well golly gee, let me think about this one a minute. Do I quickly return a complete stranger's heartfelt greeting during the holiday season, or do I kidnap them off the street and engage them in an agonized, no-holds-barred 4 hour formal debate over two words, not allowing them to leave or to take a potty break until the debatin's done?

Thinking about this ... still thinking ... still thinking ... dang, I'll have to get back to you on this one.

Sometimes I get old folks in a nursing home and will work with them a long time to get orders to immediate family in. Even if it destroys my average call time and is frustrating. I will help them too with what pricing breaks I can give them, even if I am stretching policy.

I look at it this way; it might be the last time their adult and graying kids will ever get a basket or box of pears from them and I will fully humor them.

Even if I have to pretend I am actually a Christian to a degree to not shake their envelope of comfort.

What I find interesting is the intensity some will answer my "Have a Happy Holiday salutation with a very pointed "Merry Christmas."

I'll return it, as the Yule season puts my holiday close to their Dec 25, and the point of the holiday is to foster humanity and understanding.

It is an interesting three week seasonal job that gives me insight into human behavior and I like it.

I also have noticed an increase in Hispanic customers in recent years, and actually enjoy the orders from the conservative South easterners and know how to humor them as not to rock the boat the way their knowing I am an anarchist from U.S. occupied Cascadia would tend to do.

We have two big call centers in Oregon ans one big one in Ohio. I could get on full time in Hopewell, Ohio or Medford, Oregon if I could stand it year round. But that would spoil my fun as at the end of December I am ready to be laid off and have other jobs to do seasonally after this one anyway.

It pays very well though I must say, and December is never a skinny month for me.
