No. I politely say, thank you and Happy Holidays.
We choose the way we react to anything.

No. I celebrate Christmas. I just celebrate it as a secular activity. To me Christmas is simply a time to spend with your family and loved ones and exchange gifts. I don't celebrate the supposed birth of Jesus. So wishing me a Merry Christmas isn't the least bit offensive.

Nope, I'm an Atheist and I get offended by people who say "Happy Holidays". Tradition is one thing, religion is another.

No, of course not. That's just silly.
I'm saddened by the buffoons who think that atheists are offended about Christmas, and particularly the ones stupid enough to pass along that "let's everyone send the ACLU a Christmas card!" idiocy.

This is just as stupid as the "god bless you" sneezing question. Do you get offended when people inform you that Christmas is the plagiarism of a pagan celebration of the winter solstice?

Nope. Not in the slightest.
I think the people who do must have very unfufilling lives and are in for a long hard road ahead of them. You can chose to be offended or not but I think it is a waste of time.

My Muslim dentist mistakenly wished me "Merry Christmas" as I left the surgery, I just replied "You too"...people make all sorts of assumptions but it's the thought that counts..

No. Because Christmas has been secularized so much that its only religious to those who wish to consider it so. Its just a holiday.

of course not. they are just trying to be friendly.
people should not get offended by other people's behavior.
we are getting to be way too sensitive. if someone says merry christmas and i dont celebrate it, i simply say "thank you. same to you."
