When someone wishes you a happy holiday, regardless of whether it's the particular celebration, if any, that fits into your particular belief system, they are wishing you love, peace and joy from the part of them from which they believe these things spring. It's the same as if it were in a language that isn't your own. The sentiment of the sender is what matters.
If you take offense, you're missing the point, and a little bit of magic. And you're probably kind of a dick, so you could use it. If for no other reason than to stave off the inevitable appearance of Krampus.
That being said, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, off-date Solstice and even Festivus. Or, if nothing else, have a wonderful Tuesday.
