I have no problem with anyone saying Merry Christmas, or whatever else they want to say. I respect all religions, even though I have come across many people who do not show the same curtosy (not talking about anyone inparticular on this board). If someone in a store wishes me a Merry Christmas I say Merry Christmas to you too.

My issue is not with peoples beliefs it is with government sponsorship of religion. I do have issue with my neice and nephew (whom I am responsible for) singing nothing but Christmas Carols at school. I have issue with Children not getting off school for important Jewish holidays, but getting off for all the Christian ones. I really think there needs to be a complete seperation of Church and State. I think it would be healthier all around, but I obviously know it will never happen.
