More Canadians say “Merry Christmas” than the secular “Happy Holidays,” and most non-Christians are fine with it, according to a Leger opinion survey commissioned by Postmedia.
Almost 30 percent of respondents who grew up in Christian households said they avoid saying “Merry Christmas” to strangers in case it offends them. But 92 percent of respondents who grew up in non-Christian households said they are not offended. Of course, that does leave an 8 percent minority who are offended.
