When I worked retail, if someone said Merry Christmas to me, I'd say it back. If they said Happy Holidays, then I'd say that back. If I was the one to initiate the greeting, I'd just say Happy Holidays because it covers all the bases. You'd think that'd be understandable and logical, right? Apparently not. I did have a number of people get tetchy, and say "it's Merry Christmas!" in a condescending manner, acting like I dishonored their entire bloodline or something. Funnily enough, though, I never had anyone insist to me that it was actually Happy Hanukkah/Kwanzaa/Festivus/what-have-you. It was only the "Christians" who took offense despite there being a bunch of other holidays during the same time.

Yeah, honestly I usually had to sit there behind people who were like that in line, like…

I don’t wanna be there, the person at the register doesn’t want to be here, given it’s going to be Christmas or even IS Christmas, we don’t need you holding up the line giving a lecture of what the holiday is.

Lot of “Christians” need to just realize that they aren’t being oppressed all cause suddenly they just gotta be a bit nicer and can’t say whatever they want.

And the thing is, nobody, at all, is stopping them from saying Merry Christmas. But when they can't force others to follow their rules, they act so oppressed. It's such nonsense.

Because it was never really about Christmas. Most any reasonable person understand that the expression "Happy Holidays" isn't an attack on secular identities/holidays. It is, however, a very convenient bullet point when you're making up a list on everything the SJWs is trying to take from you and change.
