When ever I see any key located and at a store a place I say Merry Christmas and to their people other people I say Mary Christian or happy holidays and hope it makes people feel better and brightens their day!! We've had so much bad news around always laugh is weak with the shootings at Clackamas Oregon and that town back and Connecticut I did can think of the name of it. Which was very bad for the whole town. To think that somebody would go and just shoot innocent children that way! Is very bad to think about the only thing good thing I think about it is that all all those young children will go see their heavenly father!

I say Merry Christmas even when store employees say Happy Holidays. I do because around the 25th of December, a majority people celebrate Christmas, not other holidays.  "Happy Holidays" only came into being because people complained that it was discriminating to other faiths to tell people "Merry Christmas". IT'S NOT.

IDK what I say. I think I say both.
Opinion: 1) a view, judgment, or appraisal formed in the mind about a particular matter 2) belief stronger than impression and less strong than positive knowledge
This is the internet, learn to let people have opinions. And don't be so sensitive.  8)

Merry Christmas and God Bless You.  I think too many people have forgetton what Christmas is all about.  They think it is all about themselves.  God gave us the greatest gift of all, Jesus.  He was the first to give.  As children of God we should give gifts to show our love like God did by giving us his Son.  It is all about the giving not getting.

Those families in CT need our prayers and love not material things.
Merry Christmas

I would say wish them a happy holiday in case they do not celebrate xmas, like many people do not.

I say Merry Christmas to strangers, but mainly as a response if they were to initiate this. I don't go out of way to announce this. I don't adjust regardless if I think the person is religious or not.

I always say Merry Christmas to strangers. When it is not a holiday time I always say Have a nice day or blessed day. It is just good manners to speak. My son also say hello to the little kids always.

I am a "Merry Christmas" girl.  If someone is offended, so be it.   "Happy Holidays" offensive to me.
