It started because corporations offered guidance to their retail employees that shoppers preferred "Happy Holidays" because it was more inclusive. Retail drones were told what to say, and when Christians got wind of it, they lost their collective brain cell.

So those Christians spend December berating retail workers being paid so little they're forced to rely on food stamps for saying the wrong thing while imagining themselves free speech warriors.

As a kid, I always thought it was because it was shorter than "Merry Christmas and Happy New Year," which was very common until the proliferation of "Happy Holidays" where I grew up. I have to imagine retail employees were glad to cut in half their mandatory goodbye phrase regardless of the reason.
