she was offended by the religion-neutral statement "Happy Holidays," instead of "Merry Christmas." She said that it was an attempt to be polite, but it offended her because she felt that it somehow denied the spirit of the season, and subverted the Christian, pro-Christmas sentiment shared by the majority of Americans.
My question is, does anyone here agree with her? How could you possibly take offense to "Happy Holidays?" Don't you think people are right to say "Happy Holidays," if they don't know what religion someone subscribes to? What if she'd been Jewish or a Muslim?
Don't get me wrong, I'm not offended when someone says, "Merry Christmas," and I wouldn't try to prevent people from saying it. However, I fail to see what's so bad about saying "Happy Holidays."
