The word season in this two-word phrase typically covers the whole gamut of holidays packed into the last month and a half of the year, from Thanksgiving to Christmas, Hanukkah to Kwanzaa, and of course the new year, too. Sure, we just gave away the answer, but please bear with us! Then again, a look at where we got this popular holiday saying may help clear up the spelling confusion and figure out what it actually means.

Maybe you can just bypass that pesky punctuation altogether? Hey, if you’re sloppy enough, the smudged ink might just make it unclear one way or the other anyway. Do you wish your friends and family “season’s greetings”? Or, should it be “seasons’ greetings”? There’s nothing like sitting down to fill out the holiday cards and realizing you’re not quite sure what to do with your apostrophe. First, is it season’s greetings or seasons greetings?
