" My third trip with HV was to Austria and Germany in 2014. This included the bucket list of experiencing OKTOBERFEST. Looks like I’m doing a beer commercial with the Alps as a backdrop. Also notice my pinkie extended. This is due to 2 years of charm school (REALLY). Thank you HV for all the amazing memories. "

Festive Longer Messages to Say Happy Holidays

If you're giving a holiday toast or speech or want to write a longer message in a card or note, these examples can help get you started. Put your own spin on them by adding names, specific details, and other personalized touches.

• As I look around at all the holiday festivities and beautiful traditions of the season, it makes me appreciate of my friends and family more than ever. Sharing these good times with you doubles the joy I feel. Wishing you a holiday season filled with love.
• I'm realizing that meaningful holidays aren't about the sparkle as much as they are about the special. Here's hoping your holiday glitters and gleams with meaning and joy.
• We mark the passing of time in our joyous annual holiday celebrations, and as I think back on this year, I feel lucky. Here's hoping your year has been filled with joyful moments and that you are sharing your holidays with those you love.
• Amid all the gift wrapping, list making, tree decorating, and cookie baking, I'm wishing you a moment of peace and a chance to breathe. Life's such a rush these days, but I'm grateful for you and hoping your holiday season is full of joy.
• Happy Kwanzaa! Blessed Solstice! Merry Christmas! Happy Hanukkah! No matter what holiday you celebrate, I'm wishing you a wonderful one shared with those you love.

Short Ways to Say Happy Holidays and Spread Cheer

Sometimes, a short and sweet holiday message is the way to go. These simple greetings are perfect for sharing with friends on Instagram or adding to your holiday cards or gift tags.

• Hope your holiday is holi-yay this year!
• Wishing you all the joys of this joyful season.
• Eat all the treats and enjoy all the traditions this holiday.
• Celebrate the season with love.
• Wishing you your best holiday season ever.
• I'm grateful for you in this special season.
• You make my holidays happy. Wishing you just as much joy.
• May your holiday season be full of magic.
• May your celebrations glitter with joy this season.
• Thinking of you with love amid all the magic of the holidays.
• Wishing you the best gifts of joy, peace, and love.
• From our family to your family, we hope you are having a joyful holiday season.
• Sending you good cheer and lots of love!
• Hope you're staying cozy with your loved ones during this special time of year.
• Here's hoping blessings fall on your as thickly as snowflakes this year.
• All the joy of this wondrous season to you and yours!
• May your celebration be filled with love and the year ahead with blessings.
• Make the most of this special season with some tasty treats and lots of love.
• Here's hoping you make some wonderful holiday memories this year!
• All the best to you and yours as you celebrate the season.

Professional Ways to Say Season's Greetings

It's proper etiquette to keep your greetings general and inclusive, especially if you don't know which holiday your clients, coworkers, or boss might celebrate. Try one of these ways to wish anyone a professional, but still meaningful, happy holiday:

• Season's greetings to you and yours!
• Hope you have a joyful holiday with those you love.
• Thanks for all your hard work this year. Enjoy the holidays!
• Wishing you a happy holiday celebration.
• We hope your season is filled with warmth and peace.
• Looking forward to a new year collaborating with you! Season's greetings!
• Here's hoping your holiday plans are even more fun than you're anticipating.
• Enjoy the season with those you love!
• Sending you gratitude and good wishes for a joyful holiday.
• Wishing you all the best of this special season.

Inclusive Holiday Greetings for Everyone You Know

Rather than wishing people a Merry Christmas or Happy Hanukkah and assuming they celebrate the same way you do, it's much more polite to be inclusive in your greetings. That doesn't mean you have to stick to the standard "Happy Holidays," though. You can acknowledge that people celebrate differently with one of these options:

• No matter how you're celebrating this year, I'm wishing you plenty of joy.
• There are so many ways to celebrate the season. Here's hoping yours is full of love.
• Merry everything!
• Whatever you're celebrating this season, I hope your festivities are full of joy.
• Celebrate with love and happiness this year!
• May you have the best holiday ever, whether it's Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or anything else.
• No matter what reason you're celebrating this season, I hope it's the best holiday ever.
• Whatever you're celebrating, be happy and merry this holiday season!
• Wishing you joy in every kind of holiday celebration.
• Happy anything you celebrate!
• Have a happy holiday season and a wonderful new year.
• This is the most wonderful time of the year! Happy everything!
• Holidays are like cookies - they're all pretty great. Hope you are enjoying your celebration.
• Any way you celebrate it, this is the season of joy. Hope yours is wonderful.
• Enjoy the holidays - any way you celebrate.
• Merry Christmas: The History Behind the Beloved Phrase

When to Say "Happy Holidays" Instead of Other Greetings

If you're like many people, you grew up saying "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Hanukkah." There's nothing wrong with a holiday-specific greeting, except that it's not as inclusive. When you wish someone a merry Christmas, you're assuming that they celebrate Christmas. If they don't, this can be a bit off-putting for them. This matters more in some situations than it others. Here are a few times when you should keep your season's greetings more general:

• Professional relationships - You may not know the religious or cultural background of everyone you interact with professionally, so it's best to say happy holidays in a more general way. You can still use a variation like one of those above to give a unique greeting, though.
• Acquaintances - If you don't know what holiday someone celebrates, stick to one of the many ways to say happy holidays.
• People of other religions - When you know someone celebrates a different holiday than you do, it's better to stick to a more general seasonal greeting.

What Matters Is Your Good Wishes

Whether you're expressing your holiday wishes in a card or simply greeting friends, knowing how to say happy holidays in a few different ways can come in handy. Ultimately, what matters is your good wishes and that you're thinking of friends and family during this season. As long as your greeting is inclusive, you can't go wrong.

Schengen Visa appointment

Since March, I have been attempting to schedule an appointment with the Spanish Embassy, but I have been unable. My vacation date was quickly approaching. After seeing the "Happy Holiday" advertise, I reached out to them. I simply gave them the paperwork, and they quickly scheduled an appointment for me. Mrs. Liana was extremely helpful and professional; she handled everything on her own, leaving me to enter the embassy only to submit my fingerprints and take my picture. Additionally, compared to other agencies I've seen, their service costs are far cheaper! I had a great experience with the service that was provided.❤️

Not trustworthy

I have contacted this company a week ago to get consultation for applying for a Schengen visa, since the beginning they kept insisting for me to pay them immediately so that they can start looking at my documents. After a few days I messaged them and let them know that I have changed my mind and I am not planning to travel this early and if they can refund me the money at least partially , since I will be applying later. I messaged them on a Friday morning and they did not reply to me at all. I messaged them again on Saturday morning to follow up. The very disappointing thing is that at this point their tone has become very different than what it was in the beginning and they started replying back to me in a very rude manner and they have told me that I am harassing them because I am messaging them on a weekend and they are not supposed to message me back and they are simply doing it out of kindness and they made it very clear that I will not get any part of my money back. What is interesting to me is that when they were asking for me to send them money they were messaging me on Saturday and Sunday but now they were telling me that I am not supposed to message them on a Saturday and when I told them that according to Google they should be open on Saturdays until 6, they said they will only reply for emergencies and I am not supposed to bother them with not so important tasks. The interesting part is that they told me they have already booked me an appointment at the embassy on Wednesday and they have paid for my insurance but when I asked to show me proof for my insurance I did not receive any reply. And I do not understand why they should book me an appointment without asking me if I will be available that day or even that week ! And if so, why they did not let me know that they have booked me an appointment when they did and they are only giving me day and time when I have already told them that I am not planning to travel anymore. I have not left a one star review, because they did not refund my money but because of their behaviour and the way they talked to me, after that I have realised that as a travel agency company , they just care about getting people’s money whether they provide any services for them or not and customer’s happiness is no concern for them at all.

Although we appreciate your response, we, as a respectable and professional business enterprise must respond in order to set the record straight. Although we appreciate the time you’ve taken to respond, your feedback is highly inaccurate. We find it very insincere that despite the time we have taken to explain our company policy, and the ways we operate directly over the phone with you, that you have chosen to take these personally. Despite your constant and calls and name calling towards our employees, we have made the effort to keep our correspondence with you professional and yet you have still taken the time to slander our business online. Please note; (1) you received the service you paid for – including the arrangement of a VIP consulate appointment, the allocation of an insurance policy and the preparation of travel documents, (2) that our actions were in line with our purchase policy clearly outlined on our website (https://happyholiday.agency/purchase-policy.html, see Section 5: cancellation). Here it’s explained, very clearly, that our services are non-refundable in your case. (3) That despite this policy, and a token of our customer centric approach, we attempted to cater to your needs, offering to keep the validity of the credit spent for 6 months, which you declined. Your response is a deliberate attempt of defamation, as despite our attempts to reconcile any issues you have proceeded to misrepresent the situation, trying to damage our reputable business name online – on a platform users rely on for honest reviews.

What is Cinco de Mayo? Holiday's meaning and origins tied to famous 1862 battle

So much more than just a day of drinking and partying, Cinco de Mayo is a day rich in history and culture for Mexico.

Celebrated annually on May 5, Cinco de Mayo recognizes Mexico's victory over the Second French Empire led by Napoleon III at the Battle of Puebla in 1862. The holiday has since become perhaps more popular in the U.S. than in Mexico and is often celebrated by people of Mexican American heritage.

The holiday's name, Cinco de Mayo, translates to the fifth of May. This year, it is on Sunday, May 5.

Cities around the U.S. celebrate every year with parades, festivals, music and more, from Los Angeles to Chicago and everywhere in between. Restaurants and brands have gotten in on the action as well, offering food and drink deals throughout the weekend.

Here's what to know about the origins of Cinco de Mayo, and why it's celebrated in the U.S. today.

What does Cinco de Mayo celebrate? Origins tied to 1862 battle

Mexican Independence Day, or Día de la Independencia, came on Sept. 16, 1810, when the country broke free of Spanish rule.

Cinco de Mayo came more than 50 years later when French Emperor Napoleon III wanted to claim Mexico for himself.

The French sent troops to force Mexico's President Benito Juárez and the government out of Veracruz. On May 5, 1862, in a small town in east-central Mexico called  Puebla, 2,000 Mexican soldiers faced 6,000 French troops  at daybreak. Incredibly, Mexico claimed victory by the evening, and Juárez declared May 5 a national holiday.

The battle also played a role in the American Civil War. With the French defeated and leaving North America, the Confederacy wasn't able to use them as an ally to win the war.

So, why are so many Americans still confused?

"Everyone thinks that it's just party time, it's Corona time," Mario García, a Chicanx historian from the University of California at Santa Barbara, previously told USA TODAY.

"It's OK for people to go out and have a good time on a holiday like Cinco de Mayo − at least they have some sense that it's some kind of a Mexican holiday," García said. "But we should go beyond that. We should have Cinco de Mayo events that go beyond partying and drinking, where we call attention to what the history is."

Part of the confusion among many Americans about what Cinco de Mayo celebrates is likely because it's much catchier-sounding and easier for English speakers to say than the day of Mexico's independence (Diez y seis de Septiembre), García said last year.

The holiday serves as a reminder of the importance of Chicanx history and its people's contributions to the U.S.

"When you study the history of Chicanos and Latinos, of course, they've been history makers," García said previously. "They've been involved in all aspects of American history, not to mention the wars ... In World War II alone, almost half a million Latinos – mostly Mexican Americans – fought in the war. And they won a disproportionate number of congressional Medals of Honor."

Why is Cinco de Mayo more popular in the U.S. than Mexico?

While there are Cinco De Mayo celebrations throughout Mexico, notably in the city of Puebla, the event doesn't compare to the celebrations of Día de la Independencia, García said.  

Meanwhile in the U.S., Cinco de Mayo has become an annual celebration of Mexican American culture.

The celebration of Cinco de Mayo began as a form of resistance to the effects of the Mexican-American War in the late 19th century. The holiday gained popularity during the  Chicano Movement  of the 1960s and 1970s.

"It becomes a Chicano holiday, in many ways, linked to the Chicano movement, because we discover Mexicans resisting a foreign invader," García said. "They link the struggle of the Chicano movement to Cinco de Mayo."

By the 1980s, companies began commercializing the holiday, especially beer companies and restaurants offering Cinco de Mayo specials and cocktails. García jokingly refers to the day as "Corona Day." 

This Cinco de Mayo, García hopes everyone enjoys their Coronas, but perhaps with a little history lesson to wash it down.
