Whether you like it or not, Christmas is not the only holiday celebrated this time of year. So why get offended when a stranger says Happy Holidays?
Think about it, you should be happy. They don't know what religion you follow, and to avoid offending you by labelling a religion to you that could be false, they wish you Happy Holidays.
For example, just because someone may look Muslim, does not mean that they are. There are thousands of arabic people who are Catholic or Christian.
See what I mean?
I, myself, celebrate Christmas (not because of religious ideologies, but because I was raised celebrating it) and don't get offended by Happy Holidays. I don't even get offended if a Jew wished me Happy Hanukkah. Why? Because these holidays are celebrated with love and peace.
And that....is my two cents.
Oh! And not to mention that people say Happy Holidays to include New Years. Two birds, one stone.
