Thanks to the internet I know "Happy Holidays" is a "micro-aggression."

We could rename all the federal holidays to something generic, like Holiday A, Holiday B, Holiday C, etc. I'd be fine with that. There are 10 federal holidays in 2015, so next week's holiday would be Holiday J, which actually makes sense ;-)

Last night I felt obligated to lambaste one of The Club Kids on the street for wearing a plain red shirt and saying it was for "The holidays". We broke into a store and found him a suitable sweater with snowflakes and reindeer on it.

Interestingly I read in a theology book that the notion of a "Christian Nation" per our "founding fathers" is a popular misconception. As of 1810, only 18% of Americans attended church. It hit 51% by 1900 and peaked at 62% in 1980. So the idea that we should "go back to how things were" would probably not yield the result its proponents would like.

Be a grinch. It's the only way to be sure. :)
