LOL. I thought that was some weird Scientology term the first time I read it.
(I was born and raised Jewish, and I have never seen that abbreviation before!)

ETA: I am a conservative "closet Christian" raised by liberal leaning Jews in a conservative religious environment (yeah, don't even try to touch that one) and my parents who don't even believe in God would go positively ballistic if you defiled their Passover table with unkosher foods (although there was a pork roast sitting in the freezer) or go off on any fellow Jews who had the audacity to showcase their Christmas envy by bringing a "Hanukkah Bush" into their homes (there is no such thing--- it's just a Christmas tree decorated with Jewish ornaments) or stringing lights on their roof. As Hanukkah is "The Festival of Lights," I found that last part a bit silly.
What am I getting at here? People just like to complain. Why be so insecure over the inclusion or exclusion? It's a wish for a Happy Holiday.
Really not a big deal unless you make it a big deal.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
