Are you kidding? It's the right wingers that are the ones complaining about greeters and cashiers and so on using Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas. They say its part of the "the war against Christmas" and the "secularizing of Christmas". Personally I always say Merry Christmas - more out of habit than anything else, but it doesn't bother me when someone uses one of the more secular greetings either.
Once it became non-PC to wish someone a Merry Christmas (despite its prevalence in a nation thats overwhelmingly Christian) Happy Holidays became more widely used. Its even worse now, retailers will show presents and snow but some dont even say happy holidays. Its amusing, to watch all the dancing around what is plainly Christmas.
