I'd agree with you if it weren't threatening to be all-pervading. I know of a number of places, school etc in the UK that have always had "Christmas Fairs" for christmas presents etc., that now have to refer to them as a "Winter Wonderland" due to pressure from PC committees. If it's used simply in a case where you're unsure what the religious beliefs or otherwise of the person you are talking to are, then sure, use a generalised term, but to replace traditions with it, is something I am seeing more and more, and something that I fear will spread if left unchecked.
