Personally I prefer Happy Holidays. Why you may ask, well I'm not a Christian. It doesn't offend *me* to have people wish me a Marry Christmas, but it is a rather limited answer.
I will wish anyone a happy, marry, blessed, or whatever, holiday they want - if I know they celebrate that holiday. If you don't know, then wouldn't it be best to stick to something that is going to go for everyone?

Merry Christmas. The season is Christmas, not "holidays". I am perfectly comfortable wishing people happy Diwali, Ramadan or Hanukkah when that comes up for them.

I suppose its your religosity that would determine that OR your bent towards diplomacy..I have so many jewish, japanese, chinese, hindi, etc. friends that I feel WRONG saying MERRY christmas, even though the latest I've heard is for reform Jewish to have actual christmas trees and open gifts christmas eve like everyone else, however, I believe to truly honour a culture, one doesn't impose his beliefs on that culture or different religion, it's rather like saying I LOVE BUSH, YOU DO TOO, BYE..you know..I mean that's a lame example, but it's so much nicer to INCLDUE EVERYONE in your well wishes than a certain group and you can say MERRRY CHRISTMAS TO THOSE YOU KNOW celebrate christmas...it's so weird that we as travellers on this planet have SO MUCH MORE IN COMMON than we do apart and it would behoove us I think to experience Ramdanan or Kwanza, or any other of the "different" religions or celebrations from christmas, I mean Hannukah means the festival of lights, that is BEAUTIFUL...I say experience as much as one can...so, happy holidays, blessed kwanza, feliz navidad, happy hannukah, asalamilakum! we're all travelers and it seems to me to be extremely pompous to think that YOUR one religion is the correct one and everyone else is wrong...you know? I mean shite...HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!

I generally say Happy Holidays, but I'm happy to hear either one.

Whichever makes the person offering the greeting more happy.
