Accordingly, how do you wish back a Merry Christmas?
If someone wishes you 'Merry Christmas', it's a reasonable assumption that they are Christian, or that they do at least recognize and celebrate the Christmas holiday, so it's fine to respond with 'you too', or more properly, "Merry Christmas to you too!"
Also, do you say thank you after Merry Christmas? It's better to say, 'Thank you and may you and your family have a lovely Christmas and Happy New Year as well. ' You can't say " for you too" but you could still use "for" an say instead: " It's Merry Christmas for all."
Similarly one may ask, why do we say Merry Christmas and not Happy Christmas?
The default term seems to have been “Merry Christmas,” as in the old carol “We Wish You a Merry Christmas.” In the 17th century, Christmas was neither merry nor happy – it was illegal. Puritans in England and in America banned the holiday as licentious, a non-biblical holdover from pagan times.
