So, I will continue to say "Happy Holidays" not because it is politically correct but because it simply expresses my wish that everyone take joy in the act of giving and that they have a happy, healthy, and prosperous new year. Exactly, what I wish for each of you.

This pretty much covers it for me... as a kid even I always said "Happy Holidays" because it was the holidays... the fact that as I got older I realised that not everyone of my friends celebrated their faith the same as me, just reinforced my esire to wish everyone "Happy Holidays" no matter what their particular version was - the spirit of family, peace, and community, to me was the most important element of the season - not the particular faith in question...
Of course to people I know that are Christian I say "Merry Christmas"...
Anyways... I wish all the brothers a safe and happy holiday.
