I wouldn't be surprised if some moron has labelled "merry" as politically incorrect, everything else seems to be.

Merry probably suggests that you'll be hammered most of the time or something in PC World (not the shop obv )

I wasn't aware that there was a distinction, or a right or wrong way.

I much prefer Happy Christmas to Merry Christmas, to me at least, the former seems more solid, whilst the latter more frivolous.

Just be grateful you don't have to say "Happy Holidays"

Yeah "Merry Anything"...has a certain ring to it and would certainly appease the non-religious types as well...Good call!

[Balmoral Green]

Or 'Xmas', I'm not religious but you've got to have more respect than calling it that. The festival that dare not speak it's name?

I've always associated 'X' as an abbreviation for anything beginning with 'Chr...' - for example as a student I wrote 'xtalline' instead of 'crystalline' to save time in lectures. OK bad example but you get the idea!
