The vast majority of Americans celebrate Christmas and prefer Merry Christmas to a generic greeting said Knights of Columbus CEO Carl Anderson.
Celebrating Christmas is a reminder that Christ came into the world out of love for us and to teach us to love one another.
Marist found that nearly 8 in 10 strongly or very strongly identify the birth of Jesus with the meaning of Christmas. The Catholic Knights sponsored the poll. And most 63 link Christmas with attending church a day when midnight masses are very popular. Though some would have Americans believe the nation is caught up in a nasty debate over the issue one thing has been settled: Its Merry Christmas over Happy Holidays.
