I think that too much effort is being used not to offend people who would not be offended anyway. I wouldn't be offended if I didn't celebrate Christmas and heard people saying "Merry Christmas". True, it leaves a lot of people out, but it should be up to the individual to decide which to use, not the law. I can see the whole idea of forcing businesses to use "Happy Holidays" but it takes their right of speech.
