"Merry Christmas" beats "happy holidays"
in actual 2005 consumer usage
December 23, 2005, Racine, WI: In the battle over whether it's better to say "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Holidays", "Merry Christmas" won by a huge margin in actual consumer usage in 2005.
The major gift basket company, GiftBasketsDeluxe.com today announced the result of their study of actual gift card messages sent through their company in 2005 versus 2004.
The findings show that 66% of gift baskets which referred to the holidays on their cards used the term "Christmas".
And what's more surprising, in this year of controversy, that represents a 57% increase over last year, when 42% of packages sent contained the term "Christmas" on their cards.
It was also interesting was that this trend held true on the corporate gift basket side, where religious sensitivity would seem to be a more important factor in the words chosen on a card. On packages sent through the corporate gift baskets site, www.Corporate-Gift-Baskets.com, 65% used the term "Christmas" up 50% from 2004.
This study was conducted on packages ordered between November 16th through December 22nd, and reflects a 2.4 point margin of error.
www.GiftBasketsDeluxe.com and www.Corporate-Gift-Baskets.com specialize in providing unique, distinctive gift baskets that people remember long after the gift is received.
