Christmas vs Hanukkah

In some countries people actually get offended if you say “Happy Christmas” because it excludes other festivals. To me this is absurd. You don’t have to include us in your important day because we have our own important days. Quite honestly, I’ve never wished somebody a happy Columbus Day just to include them in our celebration. They’d likely think that was absurd too. When I lived in America I was never offended by people who said “Happy Christmas” instead of “Happy Holidays”. Christmas was the day they were celebrating.
