Is anyone else as sick as I am of the one-for-one substitution of the word "Hoilday" for "Christmas," as in Holiday Party, Holiday Shopping, Holiday Season, the Baby's First "Holiday."

No, because most people are people of goodwill and use both terms, not one to the exclusion of the other.

Plus the word "Holiday" has been used for ages and is a perfectly good word and not offensive in the least.

Yes, it's offensive if it's used (as it is these days) to censor the word Christmas, and drop the word Christmas down the memory hole.
