Not because it is Politically Correct, but because it is an Universal Celebration.

It's not. Christmas is not allowed in Islam, the religion of "peace and love" (same for all other non-muslim holidays).

"The foremost thing to realize is that Christmas is a big innovation which is leading a big part of humanity to shirk (associating partners with God). Christianity has transgressed the limits set by Allah; therefore showing happiness and joy on Christmas, Halloween, Easter, and Good Friday is like shaking hands with Satan and telling him to carry on the good work.

Remember Allah commandment to us in the Quran:

"Help you one another in virtue and righteousness, but do not help one another in sin and transgression. And fear Allah, verily Allah is severe in punishment" [Noble Quran 5:2]

Therefore, a Muslim can't enjoin in any aspect of Christmas in the disguise that Jesus is our Prophet too; we are just honoring him by celebrating Christmas. We should recognize the Bid’ah of Christmas and the Prophet's warning that all Bid’ah should be rejected. Therefore, accepting Christmas invitations, attending Christmas parties, buying small plastic Christmas trees to please the kids (some Muslims actually do) should be avoided.

By greeting Christians with 'merry Christmas' we are legitimizing Christmas, by driving out on Christmas eve to witness the decoration of houses, we are appreciating Bid’ah with our eyes, by placing our kids on the laps of Santa in the malls we are handing them in the hands of a fiend, by closing our Islamic Schools or shops during Christmas we are giving it our silent approval, by selling Christmas items in our shops, we are strengthening the pillars of Kufr."

It's exactly that the reason why I didn't wished to you Merry Christmas, but Happy Holidays.
Religions are the biggest reason of division of the Humanity. Because of them and in their name that Billion of people are died and keep dying.
So for a minute, let's make this exercise of Respect for each other, without any mental reservation, as Human Beings.
I don't believe that God is happy while we kill a child (anyone who does so, or for whatever reason, betrays God), if we make starve entire populations in His name, we betray God or yet if we kill our Brother we betray God and His teachings.
If God is Love and Father, as I believe, is crying because of our everyday actions.
He will smile only if, in His name, we will tend our hands each other as a sign of Peace and Brotherhood.
Your God is my God and is the Jewish God.
We only have a different Creed about the Messiah.
I have a deep respect for YOU, YOUR RELIGION and the PEOPLE THAT, LIKE YOU, are spreading the Word of God.
I look in the eyes of the Children, their innocence, and in their eyes I see the God in which I believe, because God is in all of us, no matter who we are or where we are.
And because of this Respect that I keep wishing you Happy Holidays whatever you are and wherever you are.
Love and Peace be with you my Dear Friend

I'm agnostic.

As for "God is the Jewish God", no comment...

Last, like it or not, muslims have no special love for non-muslim people.

I'd avoided on your comments till now, which were disturbing the spirit of Christmas. You said that `muslims have no special love for non-muslims,' but what about `muslims having no special love for muslims??? I am referring to the regular clashes between Shias and Sunnis resulting in the death of tens of thousands of innocent people every year. Is that what Allah, the beneficent and the merciful, taught?

Happy holidays boys and girls.

Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year!
