First, one of these overly sensitive troublemakers makes a complaint. It's not going to be for someone saying Merry Christmas but it's the same type of person making the majority of these types of accusations and complaints. You know, those that think the US flag is a symbol of war and that it has no place in the work environment, someone that sees a bible on someone's desk that they may read over lunch.

It's actually not the "Merry Christmas", you are correct. It just starts the ball rolling for the HR person. The HR guy stops by your cube or does a drive by. Then he might stop to talk to you casually.

It gets the ball rolling for a host of other complete bullshit non-offenses.
