Is it rude for a gentile to wish you a Happy Hanukkah, even though s/he doesn't share your beliefs and probably even has no idea what they are?

In my opinion, you are wishing someone happiness in the celebration of their holiday. If I knew someone who enjoyed swimming in lime jello every August 4th, and I ran into them on August 3rd, I'd wish them a Happy Lime Jello Swimming Day because that's what makes them happy. If someone wishes me a Merry Christmas, I prefer to focus on the fact that they are wishing me happiness rather than the fact that they assumed I was a Christian. They would, after all, have a %76 chance of being correct.
