I wear a small pin that says: "Merry Christmas, Believe it. Say it." from the Alliance Defense Fund (group that fights the ACLU frivolous lawsuits about religious expression and displays)
A co-worker saw it and remarked that he wouldn't take the risk of wearing the same pin to work: "We're more of a Happy Holidays company".
"I got a "Happy Holidays" at the grocery store. My reply of "Merry Christmas" got a disbelieveing stare and silence.

Good for you. You SHOULD wear that pin, since it represents your beliefs. Anyone who objects to it is just plain wrong. You should say "Merry Christmas" whenever you want.
However, if someone does not return your greeting, or answers you a different way, please consider that the person may well not celebrate the Christian holiday. Even some Christian denominations do not. Express your beliefs, but recognize that not everyone shares them.
