If someone wishes me 'Merry Christmas' I tell them I don't celebrate Christmas. If someone wishes me 'Happy Holidays' I say thank you.

Does everything have to be a statement Ayn Rand? Can't you just accept that someone was wishing good to you and leave it at that?
You must be a blast to hang around with.

If I interpreted 'Merry Christmas' to mean hope you like to share with others then I would have no problem. But to me it means the celebration of a figure that I do not believe in. If you want to totally commercialize Christmas and take out any religious connotations then I guess you would have a point. But, that is not the way it is meant now.

See, I understand that, that wasn't my point.
If you sneeze and a little old lady says "God Bless You" do you bow up and get in her face?
