To be consistant, they really need to abolish the word “holiday” and replace it with “non-workday”. After all, a holy day implies a God, which might be offensive to atheists.

Which is why when someone wishes me "Happy Holidays", I respond with "Happy Holy Days to YOU, too."

I wish I could remember the details... Years ago, when this BS was starting up, management tried to treat Christmas and Easter differently from Thanksgiving. Their reasoning? Thanksgiving wasn’t a “holiday/holy day” per se. I had to remind them that we’re thanking GOD that day for all we were blessed with.

I still haven’t forgotten the look on their faces. Was so tempted to ask them, “Who were you thanking? The turkey?”
