Happy Holidays?

Happy Holidays? Seasons Greetings? Why not Merry Christmas? What ever happened to a nation wide tradition of saying Merry Christmas to your neighbour or your friend? Calling it "Christmas Break" and "Christmas Shopping? Why, in this new generation, have people found the need to remove this countries traditions to satisfy the wants of others? I do not care if your religion is different from mine, or if your opinions on this time of year are different, but it needs to be made clear that this, in no way, regardless, is an insult. If someone came to me and wished me Happy Hanuka, I would return it. Same if they were to say Merry Christmas. The only reason people would turn this into an insult is this irrational desire to "have a cause" and to "defend the rights of others." This is a simple, pathetic human emotion that may have nothing to do with wanting to help others, but to make yourself feel good in the end.
     You can celebrate your holiday this time of year all you want, but don't you dare go taking away my right to mine.
