I put this one in the same camp as whichever well-meaning person came up with "happy holidays". Other religions and cultures don't mind Westerners celebrating Christmas, and over-corrections like this just give fuel to the "political correctness gone mad" (now re-branded as anti-woke) crowd.

It's not really an over correction so much as just being more conscious of things. There are many westerners who don't celebrate Christmas but also have winter holidays. It's not an overcorrection, if anything the outrage was orchestrated to continue pushing Christmas as a default super holiday as a form of cultural encroachment on fall.
