I used to say Merry Christmas and happy hangover.
I prefer Merry Christmas.
I’m Jewish and like to greet with Merry Christmas. No issue with me.
I say Merry Christmas (or Happy Hanukkah for my Jewish friends). I refuse to be pressured into using Happy Holidays, Seasons Greetings or any of those sanitized expressions.
As a reminder to myself about the true meaning, I have adopted writing the word as CHRISTmas every single time, and I pronounce it with the long ‘i’ as in ‘time’.
Everyone here should try it. It would be awesome if it could become a nationwide movement that forever changes the way the word is written and pronounced.
Merry Christmas, y’all!

Merry Christmas, Its the reason for the season. Happy holidays is for the week minded.
So let it be written, so let it be done!
Failing to mention Christmas specifically isn't intended to be a slight against Christians, it's just a way of including everyone. Mentioning only Christmas isn't intended to be a slight against non-Christians, it's just a way for Christians to express good cheer during a holiday that is important to them.
Both greetings are used to convey kindness and good wishes to the recipient. Isn't that what's important?
Merry, Merry Christmas and Happy High Holy Days, FR! This is the 1st Sunday in Advent!
I just say Merry Christmas — May Christ bless you now and always.”
People are taken aback with a true message of the season!
