So what are we supposed to to alleviate this? The day after Thanksgiving, everyone put patches on their shirts or jackets reading, "Hi. I celebrate________" on them?

It's not ignorant to NOT know someone else holiday background. (Not talking to you) don't take offense if I am being genuine and say Merry Christmas as a nice gesture to the holidays. If I were a cashier and liked to wish some a Merry Christmas after they're about to leave my register, I shouldn't have to ask them their religious preference first. Later, QD.
