'I am particularly amused by the well-meaning folk who call Christmas the 'holiday season' to appear more inclusive for my benefit.'

Thank you Dr Ahmed for an amusing and practical article.
All too often people decide to take offense on behalf of others - when the others do not take offense themselves.
Wishing someone a Merry Christmas for those who do not believe is as meaningful as Happy Australia Day or Joyous Queen's Birthday. Neither are at all offensive, each is accurate, and are a nice exchange of pleasantries for the respective holidays.
