Oh, I get it. Because we all hate Christmas?

I have so many questions about the world these people live in.

    Or reply with happy holiday. The comic is strawmaning.

    If people wish me Merry Christmas, what's the harm in just saying it back? The holiday is important to them so why not reflect that? I don't (really) celebrate any other holiday anyway.

    I'd only use "happy holidays" if I wasn't sure what the audience observed.

    The one person I know who actually hates Christmas is possibly the straightest, cis-est human I’ve met.

    I guess the comic maker thinks “Merry Christmas” bothers us the way “Happy Holidays” bothers them. Even though the phrase features in old festive songs 🤔
