"Was wished a Happy Hanukkah as I left the store. When I stopped and explained I was Christian, the lady at the counter told me 'Happy Holidays!' This was very offensive!"
I don't think I would have said Happy Holidays. I think I would have said, "That's okay, you're still allowed to be happy during Hanukkah, even if you're Christian." And not to be snide, it's just kinda my pat response, and it's pretty much what I think to myself when on the other end of that (being an atheist Jew who has just been wished a Merry Christmas). I wonder if this person's head would have exploded at that.
