Many people become a bit confused regarding the best and
most accepted term or phrase to use while adding their own words, phrase, or
usage, so you will find a few suggestions next.
Happy Holidays –
These two words have has become the catch-all greeting to cover all aspects,
especially with so many people celebrating such a variety of holidays at the
same time of year. And, while 'holidays'
is not a proper noun, technically, in instances like these, it is being used to
replace words that are, such as 'Christmas', 'Kwanzaa', 'Hanukkah', and so on.
So, the use of the capital first letter is a common and acceptable practice
even when it is part of a sentence, as in 'Happy
Holidays' to those whom you are sending them to. Other than uses such as
these, lowercase 'holidays' as in 'I hope you enjoy the holidays'.
Best wishes for the
holiday seasons – Everyone knows that holidays are a special time of year,
so it is very tempting to add emphasis by capitalizing all the words associated
with them, thus you would have, 'Best
wishes for the Holiday Season'. But you should avoid this temptation and
rely to the basic rules of grammar, which will ensure you are never wrong. General,
capitalize only those proper nouns in your phrase, such as the holiday name and
the first letter in all sentences.
Decking the halls
– using expressions from popular songs of the holidays can be an exciting and
personal way to send your best wishes, like in 'Hope you enjoy decking the halls', but many people wonder whether you need to capitalize the
adaptation or emphasis it with quotation marks. In most situations, neither is
necessary. Unless the start of a sentence or proper nouns is involved, the use
of lower cased letters is appropriate. Quotation marks can be used to emphasize
the fact that you're borrowing from what might be licensed material, but if the
expression is well-known, using them is more a matter of preference than
official style.
Joyous Kwanzaa –
Although often misspelled, the most accepted spelling for this holiday is
'Kwanzaa'. You should avoid confusing it with 'kwanza' which is the Swahili word meaning 'first', of which the
holiday is derived from.
Peace on earth –
This is just like 'deck the halls'.
You should capitalize 'peace' only if
it is the first word in a sentence. And, there is no need to capitalize 'earth'.
The tradition and custom of giving greeting cards during the
holidays as an eloquent expression of personal affection for friends, family,
or associates continues to be deeply ingrained in the youth, and it is expected
that this tradition will continue as they grow up and become adults and manage
their own important relationships. So, the prediction is that the need for holiday
greeting stationery card websites like InvitationsByU.com will only become
greater.
