The holiday season, as it is called, does include more than just Christmas.
It might be useful to remember that the word holiday is derived from the
words Holy Day. I don't see why using Happy Holidays, especially in
multi-cultural, multi-religious societies, should cause offense, as
Christmas is very much included as one of those happy holy days.


Also, bravo, rtalent, for reminding us about the spirit of the holidays.

 Personally, I've always associated the winter holidays with  human
warmth and generosity, and in that spirit go with the term "holidays" to
include everyone, not just Christians.
