I am "annoyed" by the assumption that I observe something called "Holiday".
Tomorrow Mayor Bloomberg lights the "Holiday Tree". I suppose that they
will sing "We Wish You a Merry Holiday", "I'm Dreaming of a White
Holiday", and "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Holiday".
"Please! Please don't wish me a Happy Holiday!"
Does this count as "bristling"?
(Parenthetically, something which really baffles me is hearing "The
Vicar of Bray" included in the Holiday Muzak.)

Yes, it is annoying, isn't it -- and inexplicable, from a business
standpoint -- when businesses stop presuming that all their customers are
Christians.
