I am looking to see what the majority of people say and why. I am old school and will say Marry Christmas every chance I get. I just would like to see where the rest of you all are at on this subject.

Merry Christmas! If folks want to say "Happy Hanukkah" or "Happy Kwanza" or "Happy Eid," good for them. I'm a Christian and I celebrate the Christian holiday of Christmas. I'm bracing for the criticism of this simple post.

If I know the person and their religion I'll say Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, etc. If it's someone I don't know Merry Christmas does just fine. If they get offended at someone wishing positive vibes to them, then I know they are weak minded and not worth my time.

That's my belief and salvation but I would not be and am not offended by people saying Happy Holidays, Happy Hanukkah or anything else to me. That's their belief and I respect that.

Merry Christmas. At work I don't say anything unless it's a private conversation.

Merry Christmas!

I won't be offended if someone says Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa or anything else to me. If we are trying to establish Happy Holidays in the name of conformity then there are a lot of religions out there that don't celebrate their holidays during this month. We don't have to have the same religion for us to respect each other's traditions. We shouldn't be offended that others believe differently than us.
