It used to tickle me to no end to see all of the "Jesus is the reason for the season" signs up all over the place when I lived in the South, and then read the paper or watch the news the day after Black Friday and see the accounts of people punching/biting/attacking each other over the great sales at Walmart. My mom works at the military base exchange (like a mini mall) and has witnessed many accounts of unruly behavior during the holiday season. Merry Christmas indeed.
As for me, I usually say Merry Christmas, but it's only because it's a habit, and not because of any religious significance. You can count me in as one of those heathens who takes part in the festivities without reference to religion at all.
