HankronNaturally, I will a Merry Christmas to all.
I'm not Christian. While most people play it safe and say 'Happy Hollidays' to me, I've never neen offended by someone saying Merry Christmas. There's nothing wrong with others sharing their happines about thier own holiday. If people want to greet me with "It's my birthday" or "Happy Bastille Day" or "Happy Taco Tuesday" that's great. So you can take it from me: if someone on the street is offended by your friendly "Merry Christmas", it's his problem not yours.
I do, however, point out to my Christian friends, that Jesus Christ was not born on December 25th. The Christians merely adopted an already popular pagan Holiday to celebrate their Savior's birthday. So, essentially, Christians are celebrating a holiday for everyone-- and that's how I treat the whole holiday season.
