Merry Chirstmas to you too. However, for those who do not celebrate Christmas as you and I might, consider saying happy holidays or even just good to see you all here, alternatively, ask "Can I say to everyone who believes in Christmas?" instead of directing it to everyone in general.
The following is an excerpt from http://www.religioustolerance.org/xmas_conflict.htm
"Reflecting this increase in religious diversity, there are now many religious celebrations widely observed during the month of December in North America:
Winter Solstice is recently adopted by some Atheists.
Bodhi Day by Buddhists.
Christmas by Christians. The ancient Christians took over Saturnalia, an ancient Roman Pagan celebration on DEC-25 and used it to commemorate the birth of Yeshua of Nazareth (Jesus Christ).
Hanukkah by Jews.
Id al-Fitr by Muslims, until recent years. Between 2006 and 2008, it will be Id al-Adha (a.k.a. the Feast of Sacrifice or Day of Sacrifice).
Winter Solstice by some Native Americans and Aboriginals in the rest of the world.
Saturnalia by Nova Romans. 1,2 These are Neopagans who worship the ancient Gods of Rome and who celebrate the ancient Roman holy days.
Yule by Wiccans and some other Pagans.
This month also includes a number of cultural celebrations. Three are:
Festivus, a celebration "for the rest of us". It is as a simple, rather humorous family alternative to Christmas with a minimum of commercialization.
Kwanzaa (a.k.a. Kwanzaa, Quansa) is a week-long, inter-faith celebration -- a cultural holiday celebrating African-American heritage.
Omisoka is a very popular end-of-year celebration in Japan.
Shabe-Yalda, an Iranian inter-faith celebration in honor of the sun's rebirth."
