"Merry Christmas"?

About a week ago, I mentioned that I was bothered by my hairdresser wishing me a Merry Christmas. She had no idea which holidays (if any) I celebrate, and the assumption that I would like a Christian greeting is a bit...limited.
So I was surprised to see a poll today in a Virginia newspaper that mentioned that 65% of the respondents were offended if they weren't wished a Merry Christmas. Strange. I mean, they're in Virginia, which is kind of near D.C., and - 65% would be offended?
