yes do say Merry Christmas. Last season I can't tell you how many times I challenged a retailer when they would say happy holiday. I would immediately say " I prefer to say it like it is so say a Merry Christmas".

99% would always respond with Merry Christmas to you too!!

My conclusion? They are merely mouthing the words as advised by their employers. Remember the majority? In excess of 80% of us like it the way it has been all these years.....don't let the majority lose another one!!
