I think the whole PC thing came about as a result of White Guilt and White Priviledge. We shouldn't be watering down our holiday. We just happen to have a country dominated by white Christians and it becomes a big deal. If the majority here were Jewish I bet that Jewish celebrations would get more attention. All in all though, Christmas in the US is more of a cultural sensation nowadays rather than a religious celebration even among many Christians. It's more about trees, lights, Santa, presents, good will, etc. than Christ being born. That's another good reason to do away with Happy Holidays because if Christmas is cultural like Columbus Day or Thanksgiving then everyone is invited to participate and in fact they are. Really, the only thing linking Christmas to religion these days, at least in the US, is the "Christ" part of the name. It's become just another holiday that can be given religious significance but that's optional. Like Thanksgiving. That's a cultural celebration but many religions have tried to make it part of their religion (specifically Umitarian and some Catholic Christians) but that doesn't mean it really is a religious deal.
