First of all, Merry Christmas.
I want to remind you that I don't even really like Christmas all that much (although I'm liking this one, gift-wise) but since I enjoy pissing people off, and for some reason using the phrase "Merry Christmas" does that these days, I'm posting this. I'm tired of this new hippie horse shit about not using the phrase "Merry Christmas" because it might offend someone. Fact: Christmas is a holiday. Whether you believe in the religious aspects associated with it is entirely irrelevant. Someone that argues against that might as well be arguing against the existence of Tuesday. When I say "Merry Christmas," I am not in any way forcing or even suggesting anything religious upon you, and I'm willing to bet that neither is anyone else, you paranoid fuck. (For the record, I don't have any strong belief to force in the first place - I celebrate Christmas in a more general sense, i.e. buying people shit and trying to be marginally less of an asshole.) No, there are no hidden subtexts - when I say "Merry Christmas" (which, by the way, almost never happens unless I am consciously aware that it will piss you off somehow) I mean exactly that - have a nice day and week on and around December 25, whether you celebrate Christmas or not. How dare I offend you by wishing you to have a nice day.
So once again: Merry Christmas, and if that offends you, tough shit.
