Is it illegal to say "Merry Christmas" in the USA?

no, its not.

but public schools and stores and things only say happy holidays so they dont offend anyone.

which is stupid.

Hell no! I still say Merry Christmas in the middle of summer! Well not everyone celebrates, but most do, there's no offense with saying it.

Yeah! One guy went to jail for life because he said "Merry Christmas" to a police officer.

merry christmas.

I agree that it should NEVER be illegal. We should all be so lucky to have that Christmas Spirit all year round.

Shout it whenever you want!

Thank God we live in a country where we are free to live our life as we please, follow whatever religion we wish, and say whatever we please. Merry Christmas is a phrase you'll hear quite often around the USA, and I hope we can continue to say it (and anything else we please) forever.

No it's not. It's said very often around Christmastime.

We're still a free country over here, we can say ANYTHING we want!

HA! no!!!! "Free Country" as in you can believe in anything you want. we live in a land of choice, not dictatorship.

No. If it wasnt this wouldnt be. USA in god we trust.
