I don't think anyone cares where I live.

My first two Christmas cards came from a Jewish lad and a Muslim girl who I teach. And yes they said 'Merry Christmas' on them.

I think there are bigger issues in life.
Happy Christmas at it is Christmas!!!
I don't say either. I don't say anything, actually. This fabricated cheer is nauseating at times.
MERRY CHRISTMAS is what I have always known =}

My Blog
However I have been doing several Christmas specific posts (like 10 Things We Can Learn from Christmas Movies) http://mattkendrick.com/?p=1209
New Post about the BIG ice storm in my area earlier in the year... Very ExCiTiNg!

Man that was a rough storm. We were very lucky in Richmond to have power for most of the duration.
I'll say merry christmas to those who celebrate it, and happy holiday to the one who doesnt
I use both, depending on the situation. Usually if it's somebody I don't know at all, I say Happy Holidays, but for anyone who's obviously celebrating Christmas, I'll say Merry Christmas (or Happy Hanukkah for those I know celebrate that holiday).

When I think about what to say, I'm really saying Happy Holidays because it doesn't make sense to wish someone a Merry Christmas if they don't celebrate that holiday. It's the same logic I would use for not wishing someone another country a Happy Thanksgiving on the United States' Thanksgiving day.
I say Merry Christmas...probably because I'm a Brit, and that's generally what we say (well, either that or Happy Christmas). Also like Tina and Leetid said it is still Christmas regardless of if you celebrate it or not, and I've never known anyone, Christian or otherwise be offended by being wished a Merry Christmas!
I say both. If I am talking with someone I know celebrates Christmas I say "Merry Christmas," if I am uncertain or know they do not I say "Happy Holidays."
