Is there a war on Christmas? I think so.
Is "happy holidays" a major salvo in that war? Perhaps. I think it depends on who's saying it and why. I
don't think it is for most who use the phrase.
And I agree with the sentiment expressed above about the personal nature of the holidays, especially when and where and how they are considered holy-days by a soul.
But for the life of me I have a hard time understanding those who demand tolerance but then won't tolerate me when I want to say "Merry Christmas" or even "Merry CHRISTmas."
But then I don't understand the reasoning of folks like that on several different issues...
Oh, and by the way,
MERRY CHRISTMAS 
Yeah, I did that just to tweak those who are bugged by it. If THAT bugs you, seems to me you've got issues as much as those going apoplectic postal over "happy holidays"
