"This is where I guess we agree to disagree. Happy Holidays doesn't exclude anyone, Christians included."
And that is the problem. You don't understand most Christians who are in fact offended by the Stores use of Happy Holidays.
This is the very reason why Walmart has stopped doing it.
Many Stores have used Merry Christmas for many many years, now suddenly, they are being told to use Happy Holidays. Why?
Happy Holidays does in fact exclude me as a Christian. and I would say many more Christians too, or Walmart would not be changing their decision to exclude Merry Christmas from their Stores in the first place.

That is correct. I see it as taking offense where none is intended. I'm not saying you're the only one who feels this way, or even that you're in the minority. I'm just saying that it seems strange for someone to take offense at a genuinely proffered wish of happiness from another.
