Susan:
And what IS wrong with happy holidays?

It's wishing someone something good without running the risk of
emphasizing that everyone BUT that person is celebrating a holiday
they really don't want to celebrate... <SNIP>

Alla:

Agreed. As I said, if I know person celebrates Christmas, I wish it, 
if not I go with Happy holidays. It is just me.

Alla:

That is very true as well. I will probably never become observant 
Jew, but Rosh Hashanah ( did I even spell it right?) starts in the 
fall and for practicing Jews is a very important holiday. I mean it 
is start of Jewish new year, so it is obviously important. I like 
it, 
but I did not fully absorb it yet, I probably will be celebrating 
New Year on December 31 forever, but we do have dinner on that 
holiday as well
