We're splitting hairs CW.It's like the US being referred to a America.Or an American being referred to as a Rebel or Yankee or Sooner or Buckeye.A lot of titles are interchangeable.

Some titles are not particularly relevant or useful, but are routinely favored by individuals who are trying to push a certain radical political agenda.

There is absolutely no radical political/ religious agenda being pushed in proclaiming Happy Holidays,That is All.

well, if folks want to insist that a label or title that comes from this poor dirt farmer is trying to push an agenda, then they are paranoid and they are the problem
they can just get the heck off my lawn
I'm not trying to cause any trouble, just don't give a dern about trying that hard to be politically correct

Oh I was referring to Palestinian obviously.

I don't care about Happy Holidays. 

I celebrate multiple holidays during the Christmas season myself. 

Solstice, Christmas Eve, Christmas, Boxing Day, New Year's Eve, New Year's Day, and maybe a few others depending on who I'm spending the season with.

Happy Holidays to you too. Specifically this one.

It seems some people very much want to make “happy holidays” as being put upon, i.e. someone, somewhere is telling them what to do. And as soon as they’re told what to do, there’s a defensiveness. Insisting someone do something tends to make them annoyed, and that’s natural. 
But of course, there’s a thin line in the fact “merry Christmas,” to many is about being comfortable. It’s their thing, and if someone started doing the equivalent, they’d be uneasy. If Walmart greeters started telling everyone chag sameach in September or Ramadan Mubarak in that month, my sense is there would be pushback. And maybe that comes from the sense someone is trying to push something, but with the way some people treat “merry Christmas,” it often comes off as pushy as well for better or worse. 
Now again, I’m not advocating for one or the other. Perhaps I’m advocating for not being offended at either (granted I couldn’t get riled up to say F anyone over it either)

Also Happy New Year. This is the first time since I was a kid I didn’t stay up til midnight. Was sick all week. Being in bed at 10 was just great.

Saying "Merry Christmas" is like watching baseball, eating a hot dog and apple pie to me. and driving a Chevy or something.

I'm not a religious guy. Been a while since I was in a church. But I really don't like it when people write "XMas" on a card or email or whatever.

Would anyone want to eat an X Dog or and X pie?
