I just say Happy Saturnalia.
I'm not really offended if xtians want to celebrate their "holiday" that was only made up in the 4th century on an arbitrary day during the already well celebrated Winter Solstice and Saturnalia. They just wanted to make it easier for Pagans and Romans to convert thereby increasing their numbers, power and strangle hold on the world.
Was that spiel meant to make Christmas look like any less of a "holiday" ?
OT: Where I'm from, it's not really a big deal, most people know that being wished a merry Christmas is not the same as being forcibly baptised.
No...? It is what it is. Don't be offended if someone doesn't celebrate the same random day as you do.
And while saying merry christmas to people is quite presumptuous and exclusive, it indeed is not forcibly baptizing anybody... that is usually left for the LDS to take care of posthumously.
