People have been saying "Happy Holidays" for generations. Bing Crosby came out with this song while a) World War 2 was still going on, and B) actively campaigning for conservative Republican political candidates. I grew up in a conservative town and have heard people say the phrase my whole life.

It has been only for the last decade or so that people have become outraged over the term. The anger fits into a narrative that America needs return to some mythical time in the past that never actually existed.

Just chill out and enjoy the season.

P.S. Merry Christmas to you and your family, C-Gold
