This is indeed religious tyranny. There are other religions besides Christianity out there. Time for the Christianists to get over it.

By excluding all other faiths and holidays, they simple provide another example of this goal and highlight their religious tyranny.

Happy holidays meant, enjoy your winter break from school, and all the various holiday festivities therein. How does acknowledging that there are <em>other holidays at this time of year</em> unambiguously fail to recognize the existence of Christmas? It's not like anyone in the US could possibly forget it!
