"Happy Holidays" is actually the politically correct term, if that's what you're after. For most religions this IS the Holiday season. Even if you're not catholic, there are still work holidays given to employees this time of year. So, Happy Holidays is the way to say it.

The name of the festival is Christmas. December 25 is Christmas Day. Wish people a Merry Christmas. I'm an atheist and wish everyone a happy or merry Christmas. My Jewish and Muslim friends do the same, it's the name of the festival.
If people get upset because of the name "Christmas" what do they do on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays every week which celebrate four Norse gods?

Just say "Merry Christmas!". I agree with other answers, don't worry about being so politically correct. Christmas is Christmas and it's always been Christmas. Just a few years back, no one made a big deal out of it, and now so many stores and people do. People go out of their way to avoid the word Christmas, and they just end up sounding odd and awkward.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I think Happy Season sounds better :)
But, you could also say ' Happy Holidays' that referas to the whole Holiday :)
Or even 'Seasons Greetings '
Merry Christmas :)

Why NOT say Merry Christmas? You will offend more people by ignoring the reason this is a "holiday season" than you will offend a few by saying Merry Christmas.
Don't let yourself be swayed by the political correctness police.
Merry Christmas.
