Makes a lot more sense to neutralize it (to me). To me, as well. I stick to "Happy Holidays," myself, and I fully subscribe to the winter-solstice perspective. But the question was raised on the thread about persecution of Christians. I think that most of the complaints in that arena are just an over-reaction to a minor loss of what has been total hegemony, but I have tried to consider whether there's a point at which that turns into persecution. I have concluded that, as I said, criticizing Christians for saying "Merry Christmas" to non-Christians within a few days of that holiday crosses the line of hostility and persecution. It seems reasonable to me that well-adjusted Diwali and Hindu colleagues would wish each other a "Merry Christmas" when leaving work on Christmas eve. If that notion offends anyone, the offended party needs an attitude adjustment. FWIW.
