Merry Christmas Everyone

The polls are in and the majority of the votes said that it is fine to say Merry Christmas. I just didn't understand how it was wrong to say Merry Christmas but it was fine to say Happy Hannakah. I feel that you should be able to say whatever you want to anyone because even if you don't celebrate that particular holiday you should still take it as a nice gesture. It's like saying hi, no one would freak out if you said hola, or good morning, or hello, or even hey. some people do get upset if you say good afternoon instead of good evening but that is just dumb. If someone is saying Merry Christmas, Happy Hannakah, Happy Holidays, Seasons Greeting or anything else along thos lines to you, they are only doing it as a polite gesture. Those who complain about someone not saying the right thing are being ridiculous because you should never complain about someone trying to spead what little cheer is left after the stress of shopping, cooking, cleaning, wrapping, baking, and decorating. Scrooges!
