Holiday Food
I went shopping the other day and walked past one of the many Christmas food-stands that had been set up for the holidays. A Muslim woman was buying something from one of them and the lady behind the desk said "Merry Christma- Oh, sorry" but the Muslim woman replied "Don't worry. I may not celebrate Christmas, but the food is great! So Merry Christmas to you" which I thought was super cute.
I think we can all agree that even if we don't share holidays, we can all enjoy the food that comes with them. When I lived in England I always got excited about the Hindu celebrations like "Yes! That means they're selling that kind of food in the Indian shops!"

My big families have different religions from muslims, catholics, hindus, and buddhists.... Every religion's days are national holidays here but the major holidays are on christmas day and ied Al-Fitr.. So, ussually my families celebrate with eating together on christmas and ied Al-Fitr.. Or probably we just love foods ☺☺☺

Well, where I live we wish "Frohe Festtage" (Happy Holidays).
I think that solves that problem to a certain degree.

You said it! I always get excited about Hanukah, even though I'm a heathen who celebrates Yule (and from a sort-of Christian family who celebrates Christmas). Why? LATKES. I adore latkes. I can make them myself any time of year, but they are pretty labor intensive, so I prefer to buy them pre-made. Being heathen, I typically eat them with bacon..... I also get happy around Passover because then I know that rugelach will soon be on steep sale.
I do not get offended when people wish me a Merry Christmas, even though I celebrate Yule. Sometimes I wish them a joyous Yule (which since most people equate that word with Christmas it doesn't raise any eyebrows anyway). Sometimes I wish them a Merry Christmas. Sometimes Happy Holidays. It's the intent behind the greeting that I love.

A friend of mine recently saw a Muslim lady buying an Ice Cap (a coffee slurpee) at Tim Hortons while it was below freezing. He said " don't let anyone tell you you are not Canadian ! "
