I think one of the issues is (at least in the US) that some people
have decided to make Christmas a political issue & saying "Merry
Christmas" as a political statement. That and a number of gov't
actions by people who don't understand the religious
freedom/establishment clause of the Constitution & have gone overboard
out of fear of lawsuits (which they do on a lot of other issues as
well). Personally, I don't celebrate Christmas but I love all the
lights and the trees (though I could do w/o the 24 hr christmas music
and store crowds) and I don't care what I'm greeted w/ as long as its
an actual well wish. As far as greeting others, I usually wish "happy
holidays" unless I know what holidays the person celebrates.
