At least for one little boy. I occurs to me that Christmas isn't about what kind of greeting you offer. It's a state of mind:
I can think of a number of people in high places who should take this story to heart. Except I think they probably wouldn't get it.

Santa Claus is 100% real – at least for one little boy who first saw him walking past his front door in south London four years ago.
"Santa", whose real name is Mr Hussain, was walking down the street in Tooting in December 2013 when he was spotted by Alfie, who is now six. He heard the little boy call him Santa, and turned round and gave him some money, leading Alfie to believe that he really was Father Christmas.
Hussain, a Muslim man who works at an accountancy firm down the road and just happens to have a big white beard, has since called back at the house every year with a gift for Alfie and his 13-year-old sister Hayley.
And after getting to know the family, he even now calls round on their birthdays.
