Is it really that big of a deal to say Happy Holidays to include all people instead of singling out just one group to wish well?
Isn't "Holiday" derived from "Holy Day"? And by the same token, "good-bye" comes from "God be with you". Religious-based words/phrases show up in other languages too - adios, adieu.

I find it funny/sad that (some) Christians are angry that Jesus is not central to Christmas anymore, and (some) atheists are angry that people are saying "Merry Christmas".
