What, exactly, is their intent? And why, exactly, am I "broken" if I don't appreciate and/or reciprocate?

Side: Merry Christmas.

They are basically saying they hope you have a good holiday. If someone wishes you well, it's just kind of dickish to not appreciate that the person wants you to be happy.

I'm just picking this side but honestly I don't give a damn and I am constantly flabbergasted by the people who do. Saying "Merry Christmas" isn't a push of someones religion on another and saying "Happy Holidays" isn't a war on Christmas. BOTH are essentially hoping someone has a good day. It's like complaining that someone said "Hi" instead of "Hello". If you want to wish me a Merry Christmas, great. If you want to wish me a Happy Holidays, great. There are more important things to worry about and deal with than this constant seasonal battle that people like to partake in.

As an Atheist I think that Happy Holidays should be used as it respects others of different religion. So yeah. That's my opinion

Side: Merry Christmas.

The festival is called Christmas, after all, and I don't think we should call it something generic rather than by its name.

Merry Christmas all the way , why in the name of fuck would you say happy holidays ?

If you said that over here people would look at you like you're mentally insane why do some Americans insist on using this ridiculous form of greeting ?

I usually side with you, Mr. Dermot, and I, as an atheist and a moderate liberal, have NEVER had an objection to saying Merry Christmas. There are extremists in every party (fewer on the left), and they are the ones who object. However, Happy Holidays covers everyone's holidays, Christian, Jewish, whatever. I think we need to cover everybody in this highly religious season, so happy holidays is, at least, appropriate in many situations.

It's fine to disagree that's what makes life interesting , I get your point but again it's ( to me ) PC taken to far as and does this mean happy holidays should be applied at Easter , Halloween , Diwali ?

Also to wish someone over here happy holidays would not go down to well over here as Christimas is traditionally associated with the Christian church but is celebrated by many and I find it absurd to try and re -brand into something its not

Side: Happy Holidays.

Christmas is the day that Jesus was conceived. Thats why it is a Christ day
