Yeah, I say Happy Holidays to someone I know who obviously doesn't celebrate Christmas.

Also, it is weird for conservative Americans to be offended not greeting "Happy Christmas", when the migrant ancestors of modern Americans did not celebrate it as a holiday until more recently. Protestants thought celebrating Christmas is a Catholic abomination. Look how tables have turned and acting hypocritical as always...

Most "traditions", including holiday traditions, food culture, etc, are incredibly recent things. But people cling to it like they are the totality of their identify.
