Merry Christmas. If you say happy Christmas you sound like a twit.

Merry Christmas is what it is. If you are unsure of the religion of the person you are addressing and don't want to offend them with the "Christmas" term, you say Happy Holidays.
Hope this helps.

Merry Christmas (I say this as someone who celebrates a secular version of Christmas . . . it doesn't matter what religion you are, almost everyone says merry Christmas.
But please don't say Happy Holidays. It sounds so overly politically correct. It sounds like you're worried you might inadvertently offend someone with your cheerful seasonal greeting.
