Well I've been volunteered to be on stand by in the holidays, while most of my colleagues are rejoining their families in their respective home countries. So anyone wishing me "Happy Holidays" will get headbutted.

Anyway, Christmas is a christian feast, why hide it? If the other denominations are freeriding on the fact that a country has a (Western) christian heritage and thus a holiday on the 25th of December, they'll be able to stand a little Merry Christmassing, no?
When I got Eid-al-Fitr & Tabaski as a holiday when in a muslim country, I'm was not complaining when anyone wishes me a happy Eid-al-Fitr or happy Tabaski.
I have the idea that this political correctness is getting a bit over the top.

But since I'm not home for Christmas, what probably will happen is we'll dine somewhere with those colleagues that got left behind... Nothing too fancy, just to chase the loneliness.
