Should we say "Merry Christmas"?
If you mean during the Dec 25 time, you greet people with “Merry Christmas” rather than with a bland “Happy Holidays”, yes of course.I’m not a Christian, but I don’t mind at all when people greet me for Christmas. In fact, I have spent time at a Professor’s place to decorate their Christmas tree and spend the evening celebrating with their family. I spent a Christmas in NYC and another in London and love the beautiful cultural events organised around them. I love the sound of jingle bells and of a fat Santa doing his charm.Festivals are for fun and we humans need them to break the monotony of our lives. The more festivals we celebrate, the better.If someone gets offended to hear “Merry Christmas”, they are probably not in a mood to form human relationships.

Is it politically correct to wish someone Merry Christmas?
There’s no such thing as “political correctness”. This is the perfect example of it.The whole whine-fest about “Merry Christmas” came about because a bunch of conservatives got their panties in a bunch because a store decided they wanted to be inclusive, and told their employees that they should say, “Happy Holidays”.The conservatives starting proclaiming that liberals had started a “War on Christmas”, and that it was no longer “politically correct” to say “Merry Christmas”. It was a lie then, and it’s a lie today.The term “politically correct” is an excuse that people give when they’e been called out for poor behavior. Rather than correct their behavior, they blame others for being “too sensitive”. In effect, they’re trying to justify boorish behavior as being acceptable. They’re still boors.

How do you say “Happy Christmas” in Gaelic?
In Scottish Gaelic, it’s more typically Nollaig Chridheil. Cridheil is an adjective which comes from the noun “cridhe” meaning ‘heart’. So, a ‘hearty Christmas’ to you.People often add “dhut/dhuibh (to you/you(plural/formal)” when wishing others a merry Christmas in Scottish Gaelic. “Nollaig Chridheil dhut” or “Nollaig Chridheil dhuibh” (to more than one person).The word ‘sona’ exists in Scottish Gaelic, but is not the most commonly used adjective with Nollaig in Scottish Gaelic.If you wanted to translate the phrase literally then it would be Nollaig Shona and to wish someone a Happy Christmas, you could have Nollaig Shona (dhuibh/dhut-to you); but as I say, it’s not as common as Nollaig Chridheil in Scottish Gaelic.In Irish (Gaelic), it would be Nollaig Shona as that’s the more common collocation, and they wouldn’t use “cridheil” at all.
When is it appropriate to say Merry Christmas?
While it is perfectly fine to wish someone a Merry Christmas at any time, I often feel that a particular setting helps dictate proper protocol.If you work in retail and a customer approaches you several days after Thanksgiving and says “Can I get some help? I need to buy a Christmas gift for my mom and have no clue what to buy.”After you conclude your interaction with this individual, it would be perfectly appropriate to say “I hope you and your family have a Merry Christmas.”Because the initial interaction involved the holiday and your well timed assistance was able to further the customer’s needs, ending on this note is not only thoughtful but very relevant in my opinion.On a personal note, I tend to wait until the last week of November before I begin to break out the Merry Christmas greeting and the Christmas Carols.
Does it make sense to wish a belated merry Xmas?
My family which has Eastern European roots celebrate the Christmas season. From the Feast of St. Nicholas December 6th through to the Epiphany or Twelfth night on January 5th is my Christmas Season. People wonder about the song the 12 days of Christmas. The first day of Christmas my true love… starts on on Christmas day. The rest follows for each day after December 25th.In Europe there are many stores that shut down to enjoy the Christmas holiday season over a number of days.My belief, is that something behind the phrase Happy Holidays. It is not the exclusion of Christmas but the inclusion of the Christian feast days and the Orthodox Christmas that makes up the Holiday season. I also, will throw in Hanukkah, solstice and Kwanza. I love parties and I will attend any winter festivity.
