No. I would be very happy to get a blessing from anyone. It's a beautiful gift.

I enjoy wishing other "happiness" or whatever is customary for their holiday and enjoy the receiving it as well. As far as I can tell, most of my multicultural acquaintances are pleased that others are interested in their culture.

Nope, I appreciate all things done in goodwill.
Of course, for every "Merry Christmas" I hear, I will respond with "Blessed Solstice!" :-D

I Would think this was RESPECTFUL and not be offended ..
because they are acknowledging my beliefs while considering their own ... and I would definitely appreciate their warm wishes and their caring nature! (In other words -- they are considerate of the cultural differences and respect that we have different beliefs)

I wouldn't, it would be a sign of acknoledgement and respect of that person's culture.
