LETTER: Why would someone be offended by Christmas?

Dear Editor, 

At this time of year, I become increasingly frustrated by the idiotic description of Christmas as "The Holidays.'' 

I have never met a person from a non-Christian background that was "offended" by not just the word Christmas but everything associated with this time of year. 

I would love to sit down with an offended person and ask them why they are offended and not by any of the other religious festivals such as Holi, Diwali, Eid ul-Fitr or Yom Kippur, to name a few. 

I'm very curious to know why.
