The nation seems caught up in a nasty battle over whether "Die Hard" is a Christmas movie, but one thing has been settled: it's "Merry Christmas" over "Happy Holidays."
A new Marist Poll found that Americans preferred "Merry Christmas" by 20 points, 57 percent to 37 percent.
What's more, Americans very much identify the holiday with the birth of Christ.
"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." The Catholic Knights sponsored the poll.
