Happy Christmas I use in informal situations.... Merry Christmas with older people and in more formal situations.
Often I say "Happy and Prosperous New Year" a better thought I think.
For you lot here...
Happy Christmas...Happy Christmas...Happy Christmas...

I have always said merry new year, happy Christmas, merry holidays .... Didn't know I was really ticking off anal people ... now I'm pleased. Thank you and have a borderline day.

don't get lost in the delivery of the message; it is the message that counts; when we acknowledge the celebration of the birth of Jesus, call it whatever you want; he doesn't care; shout it from the rooftops , it is crossing your lips and therefore in your heart!!
Merry Christmas

They're just trying to be unconventional. This world would be so dull if everyone where to say the same things in exactly 1 way.

That's just a stupid tradition, you can say it in which ever way you prefer. I say it in an entirely differnt language.
