There is a huge difference between not being exclusively Christian and anti-Christian... and saying Happy Holidays or having a Holiday Party isn't anti-Christian - because it includes Christianity.
Besides in the Mediaeval tradtions this was known as the Holy Days or Holidays with Christ's Mass being but one aspect of the celebrations.

Again, the analogy was not to suggest that it was faith-specific, it was only to point out that if one person chooses to celebrate something, the other person can react with tolerance instead of recoiling in horror.
All these non sequiturs are making my head spin.

I thought it followed - or at least was all tied into the central arguement... which can be a little hard to follow when come from two related but different perspectives.
Do you realize that the last arguement you made is actually somewhat supportive of the reasoning behind "Happy Holidays"? Basically the fact that others celebrate this season differently should cause some Christians to be so reactionary or horrified by it - different denomonations and faiths all have Holy celebrations now; so why not react with tolerance instead of horror, or decrying the fact "it's anti-Christian"?
