If you were an American Christian living in, say, Iraq, would you wish your neighbors a Happy Ramadan? I would do that - to honor their tradition and to extend courtesy to my neighbors.
About 92% of Americans celebrate Christmas, some Christian and some not. So you're on very solid ground when you say "Merry Christmas!" to almost everybody.
Note: Christians (including me) celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ at Christmas. But non-Christians celebrate our national holiday too - "a big majority (81%) of non-Christians in the U.S.also celebrate Christmas." You offend almost nobody by wishing them a cheery "Merry Christmas."
