Yesterday was the first Christmas shopping I was able to do. I noticed that in every store I went into, the workers said "happy holidays". I always return that with a big "Merry Christmas". We need to make this stand. Screw the PC people. This is a holiday that came into existence for the soul purpose of celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ. No one is forcing people of other religions, or atheists, to celebrate Christmas. They can have their own damn holidays...but leave ours alone.

Or, you could stop, say "Holiday? What holiday?" and try to get them to say it.

When you said "Merry Christmas" did they respond?
Our experience has been that most will respond with a rather warm "Merry Christmas"...almost gratefully.
They are just doing what management told them to do, for the most part. When that secret commeraderie is revealed, they usually get a big smile.
Sad that it has to be this way for such a unifying holiday.
Heck with it...to paraphrase Charlie Brown, "I'm not letting them ruin MY christmas."
