When did people start saying happy holidays instead of merry Christmas?
It seems to me that it started with the retail market. Target stores, etc. Since Christmas is why the retailers are making such large sales, it was offensive that they tried to be ashamed of December 25th, while collecting the profits. Christmas is already secularized. Christians and non-Christians alike celebrate Christmas. One with an emphasis on Christ, and one with an emphasis on Santa Claus and gift-giving. That is why people get upset about it...because it is already secular and sacred. It is purposely picked on. We don't call Hannakuh candles holiday candles, etc. Anyway that is the way I remember it. It seemed to be retailers buckling to atheists, while at the same time collecting the profits from the purchases for December 25th, Christmas.
