6. Here's a clue

The reason it is offensive is what it represents.

Oh, it's dressed in carols and jingle bells and Santa Claus, but the basis of "Merry Christmas" has a religious connotation. For those who don't believe in your carpenter baby, it IS offensive.

To make any pressure on someone to say "Merry Christmas" is a RELIGIOUS pressure and call me scrooge if you want, but the First Amendment wall of separation between church and state doesn't come down for a few days in December.
