I agree, mostly.

There's certainly nothing wrong with sending Christmas cards, holding Christmas parties, wishing fellow Christians a merry Christmas, etc. Replacing the word "Christmas" with "holiday" isn't magically inclusive to non-Christians -- on the contrary, it presumes that non-Christians celebrate Christmas under different names, which is largely not the case.

But on the flip side, please don't assume that everybody is a Christian. I don't want to receive Christmas cards, I don't want my attendance to be expected at Christmas parties, and I certainly don't want to be wished a merry Christmas. Nor do I want my tax dollars being used for celebrations of religious holidays or public property (of which I own a share) being cluttered up with decorations for religious holidays.
