Happy Holidays Vs. Merry Christmas

A respected pollster has published a provocative statistic and I shared it in last Sunday's message:

"A new Zogby poll found that 95 percent of Americans say they are not offended by being greeted with a 'Merry Christmas' while shopping; but greet them with a 'Happy Holidays,' and 46 percent say they are offended."

Shouldn't this make politically correct retailers sit up and take notice? Reactions and thoughts?

I don't like to hear Happy Holidays either. Please wish me a Merry Christmas.
I think the retailers will only take notice when it hurts financially. Money speaks and so do many voices.
