A cursory look at the history of our country makes one aware how much the founders were of God and that He gave to all humans certain inalienable rights. Further searches into the history of our country suggest that God was a significant factor in the successful establishment of our country. If you don't accept that idea then you must accept the country was the recipient of a number of coincidental accidents, any of which would have meant the failure of the country to exist as it does today. Without the United States of America imagine how different the world would be today.
Most people considering themselves Christian, acknowledge Jesus was born at a time other than December and that the holiday known as Christmas came out of other celebrations as a matter of convenience.
Religious based celebrations fall into a category of things people do not like to see change but whether one says "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Holidays" is insignificant in light of the direction of our country as it speeds away from acknowledging God. For those of us believing the Bible is from God we accept what is written in it as true or we must accept that the Bible is nothing and therefore is to be discarded. One can find in the Bible that God establishes governments and removes governments. If the Bible is what it claims to be that statement is true. With that belief in mind as this country speeds away from God we become a candidate for being removed. We must be concerned for that.
So whether one says "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Holidays" or says nothing is trite compared to the consequences of our actions and our running away from God.
