I always say "Merry Christmas". Even when I worked retail, I said it.

I always said it, too. I figured they didn't have to say it back if they didn't want to.

Stormtracker TF · 11-26-2007, 06:59 PM

Merry Christmas. I only say Happy Holidays if I mean Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years together.

Mr. Television · 11-26-2007, 07:00 PM

Always Merry Christmas.

AB · 11-26-2007, 07:02 PM

Merry Christmas, I never think to say the other one. lol!

EmoJoe · 11-26-2007, 07:09 PM

Merry Christmas. Happy Holidays is acceptable too, but i don't think people should say it because they're afraid to say Merry Christmas.

*ClassicPinUp* · 11-26-2007, 07:11 PM

I always say "Merry Christmas!"

I agree there.

Definately Merry Christmas! Sometimes I think the world is way to politically correct. You know, if you don't like it it's not as if I said "Merry Christmas" to be offensive!

*Pleasant Tomorrow* · 11-26-2007, 08:49 PM

Merry Christmas...I don't think I've ever really used the phrase Happy Holidays to be honest. Obviously, though, if someone doesn't celebrate Christmas I won't because then I'd sound like an ass, but generally yeah I use Merry Christmas.

Corolla · 11-26-2007, 08:50 PM

I just say Merry Christmas. It's not like it's a big deal over what one you choose to use.

Cactus Jack · 11-26-2007, 09:05 PM

Merry Christmas!

qwerty · 11-26-2007, 09:44 PM

Happy Holidays would be more politically correct for those not celebrating Christmas but do celebrate Hanukkah, etc...

dawsongirl · 11-26-2007, 09:49 PM

Merry Christmas. Tough if you don't like it. I've never had anyone who wasn't Christian freak out on me, so I think I'm doing ok.

Janice · 11-26-2007, 10:50 PM

Merry Christmas for me. After Christmas, it's Happy New Year.
