I think 'Happy Holidays' is used by people for 2 different reasons - 1)political correctness, unless somebody is a good friend they don't know if the person is a Christian or not 2) it covers the whole holiday season including New Years, it's an alternative to 'Seasons Greetings'

I like 'Merry Christmas', i hate seeing Christmas diluted into some vague politically correct holiday season. I could give a rat's ass about the religious aspect, I just like old traditions and hate when we lose them to political correctness. Any Jew or Muslim who gets offended when somebody amiably wishes them a 'Merry Christmas' is a douchebag.
