Christmas is not a holy day for me. There are multiple unrelated
holidays around this time of year. Wishing "happy holiday"
acknowledges the fact that there is more than one religion. Not
everything that is politically correct is wrong. Those that boycott
stores for wishing happy holiday are hypocritical bigots who are not
practicing the religion that they profess.
So I wish a happy holiday to those on the list, whatever religous
holiday you may be celebrating, if any. For those to whom it is
applicable, don't OD on the latkes and sufganyoth.
