Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. But still, I think they've generalized the phrase now so that even non-Jewish Americans say it just out of habit. Especially in big cities like New York. I think there's another saying the say other than happy holiday's. It's just so plastic anyway. When someone's a c*nt at Christmas, people always say "don't be a c*nt - it's Christmas!" Yeah, like that really makes a difference. People seem to try to be nice for one week (or 2 f*cking months as it is now) of the year, then go back to being c*nts again. Not everyone, like. Just some. I hate it.
Same as New Years. Everyone's all jolly, then BANG! next day back to square one. Nothing changes on New Years Day.
Happy Holidays is such a pile of PC nothing-ness....
I've worked extensively with US peeps over the years, and I deliberately ignore them when they say it. And I go out of my way to say "Christmas" instead.
Man, I've been there almost a dozen times and I just know I couldn't live there. They'd drive me nuts...
