Are you from Dallas, perchance?
"Happy Holidays" refers to Christmas and New years, as well as Hanukkah, for Jews. It was never intended to be an insult to Christians. Christians just seem to get insulted by trivial things on a regular basis. BTW, I felt exactly the same way when I was an elder in the Lutheran Church -- I regularly told my fellow believers to chill out about stuff like that. Don't take offense where none was intended.
I ussually say "Merry Christmas," but when I am greeting my friends who I know to be Jews, I say "Happy Hanukkah" or "Happy Holidays." BTW, none of my Jewish friends mind when people wish them a Merry Christmas. They are used to it.

No, no - I´ve never considered "Happy holidays" to be an insult in any way and it doesn´t offend me at all; I just find it a bit trite and generalised. As you say, Happy Christmas to the christians, happy hannukah to the Jewish population, happy Diwali to my Indian friends.
Latin Americans will always say "Happy Xmas", because all the countries are catholic.
Don´t know if I can say the same for the UK - half of them don´t what they believe in anyway!

For the rest of us!
I have three metal fence posts in my garage. I should put one up.

Making progress, but I'm stopping to make some eggnog/advokaat. I'm uncertain which mine actually is now because it's much closer in description and ingredients to advokaat than eggnog. (And yes, I do scrap the glass out with a spoon).
