“Merry Christmas” remains the greeting of choice in Canada during the holiday season, according to a new poll.

The preferred festive greeting for 62 percent of Canadians is “Merry Christmas,” while only 24 percent prefer “Happy Holidays.” Fourteen percent of respondents to the newly released survey from the B.C.-based Research Co. didn’t have a preference.
