Merry Christmas Or Happy Holidays?
NGUYEN: Two members of the Bush family get special attention this time of year. No, not the twins, Jen and Barbara. Instead, it is the dogs, Barney and Miss Beazley. They're starring in their own Christmas film.</s>GEORGE W. BUSH, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: Barney, I hear you've been hiding Beazley's gift all around the White House. Uh-oh. What is it we have here? Now, Miss Beazley, I understand you've been a media hound. Perhaps this is a case of sibling rivalry. Both of you are important part of our family, and you have to remember the true meaning of the holiday season. Now, you two run on, I've got a lot of work to do.</s>NGUYEN: Are you serious?</s>HARRIS: You got that right.</s>NGUYEN: Come on. After getting kicked out of the Oval Office, the pair of pooches set out to get a better look at the Christmas trees. This is a doggie cam. Remember that, Tony...</s>HARRIS: Yes.</s>NGUYEN: ... where they put the doggie cam on?</s>HARRIS: Yes.</s>NGUYEN: Then they did what most normal dogs do. No, not that, not that.</s>HARRIS: What -- oh.</s>NGUYEN: They chased the ornaments around -- how cute are those dogs?</s>HARRIS: It's not what my dog does.</s>NGUYEN: Yes, really.</s>HARRIS: Dog does it in the yard.</s>NGUYEN: Yes, train that dog.</s>NGUYEN: How cute, Barney and Miss Beazley.</s>HARRIS: That's good stuff. That's good stuff. Good line reads from the president too.</s>HARRIS: Good line reads. Good, good stuff. E-mail question of the day, what are you going to use? I mean, I guess the White House is in the middle of this too, with the holiday, the White House Christmas card as well. And what are you going to say? You going to say, Happy holidays? Merry Christmas? I don't know why we keep printing these things in this. But you know I can't read this, Betty. You're supposed to help me out here.</s>NGUYEN: It's really to test your skills here. Read it on the screen.</s>HARRIS: Well, here we go. "America" -- we don't have any -- we don't know who this came from, but we'll read it anyway. "America has become so diverse. We are a melting pot. We are not solely a Christian society. It is offensive of this nation to promote Christmas and Christianity to the extreme that we do every year. 'Happy holidays' is a much more politically correct or -- and less offensive way."</s>NGUYEN: Yes, that's from Matthew.</s>HARRIS: That's Matthew, OK.</s>NGUYEN: Yes. This next person, I don't have a name on it either, Tony. Says, "This being Christmas, Hanukkah, Ramadan, and New Year's, is the holiday season. So for one to say, Happy holidays, is appropriate, since the U.S. is multiracial, multiethnic, and multi- religion." That is from Curtis.</s>HARRIS: Thank you for your e-mails. More next hour on</s>CNN SATURDAY MORNING, 9: 00 a.m. Eastern, 6:00 a.m. out in the West. And here's the question, What do you use, Happy holidays, or Merry Christmas? So weekends@cnn.com.</s>NGUYEN: Well, the changing of the future of America. Women, they are taking charge. You know this, Tony, taking charge of their lives, reshaping the way they live, their families. And they are driving the marketplace. Yes, who's doing all the shopping this holiday or Christmas season, however you want to put it? They are purchasing the homes and all the big big-ticket items as well. So will they also push sales up this holiday season? We're going to weigh in and find out what women really want. I'll tell you, we just don't have enough time.</s>HARRIS: All I know is, I'm writing a lot of checks. But first, fighting the bird flu. Are we prepared for a possible pandemic? Dr. Sanjay Gupta takes a closer look. That is next on "HOUSE CALL."
