Do you wish people "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Holidays"? (or worse...the ever sterile "Season's Greetings"... 
)

Usually it's Merry Christmas, but sometimes it's Have A Nice Holiday, depending on the situation. Couldn't vote.

Merry Christmas!!!
Even though I'm Jewish, I do celebrate Christmas, tree, presents and all.
I feel that Christmas is wonderful time for all the world's people and religions. And watering it down is goinging way too far in political correctness.

Usually "have a good Christmas", which covers everybody who has the day off.
In more formal settings, I use Happy Holidays, not because I'm afraid of offending anyone, but because it includes everyone.
I used to feel Christmas was a wonderful time like Bruce, but age and evolving society has changed that. These days, it's all about gaudy decorations and frivolous gifts. In my disgruntled opinion, anyway.
I guess once our baby is older it will start to be more fun again. But I much prefer Thanksgiving, even though that is starting to get enveloped by Christmas hype.
Um, sorry for the rant, back to the point, since I won't be back here in the next week:
Happy Holidays everyone!PhilComment

I would be honored if someone of another religious persuasion offered me good wishes on their holiday.

I prefer using Merry Christmas. I do on occasion use have a great holiday. While I was working for the State of CA It was not politicaly correct to say Merry Christmas but I did any way. After 65 years I don't feel like changing. Gud Yule as my Sweedish ancestors would say. I think Bruce has the right attitude.

You make a great point -- that there's a secular (yet very valid) tradition called Christmas in this culture - a time of giving, family, friends, and hot cocoa.
The religious celebration (as I believe it was CS Lewis pointed out) is a different thing altogether.

Len,
You're more than welcome, unless you're allergic to our 3 cats and one dog and two daughters (I'm the only male, the animals are female too.
Actually, we go to a neighbor's house, they have an open house for all "Lost Jews" and anyone else with no place to go on Christmas Day.
