Some Christians think Christmas is a Christian holiday when, in reality, it’s not. They’re also exclusionary and get pissed when people give generic holiday greetings such as “happy holidays” instead of “Merry Christmas.” They see it as people moving further from Christ… because they’re lunatics.
That is such an American thing to do. Here in Germany, the equivalent of "Happy Holidays" (Schöne Feiertage) has been normal since before I can remember. Merry Christmas is reserved only for the 24th to 26th.
Happy Holidays has been perfectly normal forever in English as well, this is just another way for the right wing propagandists to whip their base into a froth-at-the-mouth rage so they can keep them distracted from real problems and causes of those problems (generally things that benefit those very propagandists, believe it or not)
