    It's also somewhat inclusive of Lunar New Year and Diwali. More broadly, it's a public recognition that not everyone celebrates Christmas to make it clear they're accepting of diversity.

    Maybe it's the Canadian in me, but I don't wish anyone a "Merry Christmas" unless maybe if I specifically know they celebrate Christmas; I almost always say "Happy Holidays!"

      Yeah it makes sense, just sounds odd. Maybe it's because here in Britain Christmas is kind of a thing for everyone almost entirely independent of religion. Cultural differences and all that.
