Actually, this has been happening for over a decade, it's only this year that it has received the national attention to the extent that 'X-Mas' did in 89. If you check Archive.org and look at most retailer's sites in December as far as archive has it, you will see they have been fairly consistent with Happy Holidays versus Christmas.

And I was pissed off in '89 too...so what.

The interesting thing about the 89 scandal is that the X in Christmas wasn't meant to 'X Christ out of Christmas' as Pat Robertson put it but it was a legitmate Latin spelling of Christ. I remember a lot of people had egg on their face over that, jumping to the wrong conclusion.
