What Are We Suppose To Say?

In recent years a debate has raged over what to call the holidays. For decades the accepted phrase was "Merry Christmas", meaning joy over the birth of our savior Jesus Christ. Then about 15years or so ago there began a movement to change the holiday phrase to "Happy Holidays" thereby making it a non-religious celebration. But can they simply "will" Jesus Christ out of Christmas because they choose not to believe? Should they be allowed to infringe upon the rights of those Christians and non Christians who believe it is a celebration of the birth of Christ Jesus?

What holiday phrase most resonates with you? "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Holidays"?
