Our Homeowners Association (I got on the Board for self-defense) announced a "Holiday Event." I voted against it based entirely on the fact it should be a "Christmas Event."
For the first time in my life I am displaying a bumper sticker that states, "We Say Merry Christmas!"
I am also searching for a "Merry Christmas" sweater to wear at the December meeting.

And, I'll bet the vast majority of your neighbors are Christian...or at least celebrate Christmas.
This crap is endemic. I don't think most people even realize what has happened.
Here In EyeGuyLand, we make it a POINT to say Merry Christmas to our (mostly Christian) patients. They are happily surprised to hear that semi-retired and antiquated phrase of yore.
Balm for the soul.
