Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas! Yes, that's right, I said: Merry Christmas!!

Why do some people get bent out of shape when you say Merry Christmas? Is it because it recognizes a particular faith system - Christianity? Then why not get upset when I say Happy Hanukkah or Ramadan Mubarak?

Why does there seem to be a tolerance for other belief systems, but we somehow have to be apologetic if we adhere to the Christian faith system? If we are truly tolerant, won't it be OK for anyone to say any greeting that acknowledges a person's belief system - even if we disagree with that particular faith?

Just asking.
