I don't care for discussions on "happy holidays" as an alternative (but still compulsory) greeting this time of year because frankly, your religious holidays are yours and not shared by all.
If you expect strangers to greet you about your holiday regardless of their own traditions or lack thereof, you are an oppressor.
Yes, even if you say "holidays", and not a specific one.
No, "holidays" is not benign.
Some of us do not celebrate anything this month and deserve peace - not microaggression.
