Christmas is a celebration of the birth of Christ so what's with this
'merry' crap?

The Online dictionary definition:

mer ry
adj. mer ri er, mer ri est
1. Full of high-spirited gaiety; jolly.
2. Marked by or offering fun and gaiety; festive: a merry evening.
3. Archaic Delightful; entertaining.
4. Brisk: a merry pace.

It seems to me this 'merry' Christmas crap is just another way for
non-believers to take over and marginalize the true meaning of Christmas.
It seems to me Christ's birth should be celebrated with solemn thanks to
our
Lord for giving his only begotten son that those who believe in Him may
have
everlasting life.

Getting drunk on spirits and getting bloated on too much food is
debauchery.
Is it proper to gives thanks to the Lord's ultimate sacrifice by engaging
in
sinful behavior? Making Christmas all about human vices seems to me to be
very antithetical, blasphemous and sinful and no way to get to Heaven.

I get all testy because somebody has GOT to give the opposing view.

Just because some think they have the right to force their unholy version of
Christmas on me by wishing me a 'merry' Christmas and they expect me to go
along with their debasing the most important Christian celebration does not
mean I have to bear it silently.

Ah, so it's fine for semi-professional God-botherers to force feed their
particular brand of superstition on the rest of us, but those who push back
are beyond the pale. Neat.
