Meanwhile, closer to home, the gals manning the Salvation Army kettle at the local Toronto Costco unfailingly wish the shoppers "happy holidays". Haven't heard a "Merry Christmas" yet. Call me old-fashioned, but I tend to favour Christian organizations willing to take a brave public stand and wish passers-by "merry Christmas".
Is it Miller Time or Mecca Time? In the U.K., it's clearly Mecca Time.

Here in snowy Alberta I've heard, to my shock, nothing but "Merry Christmas." I think people are rebelling and taking back the holiday from the politically-correct hacks who have tried to secularize the birth of Jesus.
Have a little fun with the Sally Ann kettle minders, tell them you'll donate if they'll wish you a "Merry Christmas".
I'm pleased to notice almost every cashier here in Kelowna has wished me a "Merry Christmas".
When anyone wishes me a "happy holiday",I usually reply that "I take my holidays in the Summer, Merry Christmas".
