Forget "Merry Christmas," there's a bigger outrage:

You've read (in Political Animal) all about the campaign by conservatives to "Save Merry Christmas". O'Reilly is the most pugnacious, but there are others, and an organization, the Committee to Save Merry Christmas is out there "to preserve the culture and tradition."

Sorry folks, but saying Merry Christmas is punk. Merry Christmas isn't the traditional greeting that should be defended. We should band together, fight "Happy Holidays" and "Merry Christmas," and demand the exclusive use of a sadly discarded greeting:

Joyous Noël

With the umlaut!

[ADDENDUM: There is a weird webpage (Google cached) that takes a humorous look at the common winter holidays.]
