In recent years, "Happy Holidays" has become the generic, Winter non-sectarian greeting. However, since the word "holiday" is derived from words "holy" and "day", I see the greeting as an affront to non-religious people.
Therefore, I suggest that the proper Winter greeting now become "Have a good one", allowing everyone to interpret "one" based on their personal religious beliefs or lack thereof. This allows for respectful acknowledgment of everyone's holiday or non-holiday in an inoffensive, religious-neutral way.
So, to all my friends out there, I hope you have a good one.
