 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,
that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world,
but to save the world through him."
John 3:16-17

Should I put Merry Christmas on my Christmas card?

If you are a Christian, the answer is yes.  If you truly believe that the world needs Christ and you believe what the Bible says about Christ is true. 

Acts 4:12
Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved."

1 Timothy 6:12
Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses.

Acts 2:38
Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

If you are Jewish, you wouldn't want to put something on your card that you don't believe in, unless it was just for the sake of American heritage, or freedom of speech.   

If you are a messianic Jew, which means you are jewish and believe that Jesus is the messiah, the answer is yes.  Messianic Jews believe that the old testiment writings point to Christ and these beliefs are referenced in the following scriputures...

If you are neither Christian or Jew, but of some other belief, you may want to use the phrase Merry Christmas for the American heritage, or just to exercize your freedom of speech.  I'd like to share with you that Jesus died for all mankind to make a personal relationship with the Lord. The blood that was shed on calvary covers our sin and reconnects us to a holy God who wants to have a relationship with you. See the following...

Religion is man trying to reach God or getting to heaven by solely good works. True Christianity is God reaching out and loving mankind. Since God is pure and holy, we can not approach Him because we've all done wrong, so God sent Jesus to the world as an extension of himself to live as a man and to die for the sin of mankind.  We can approach God if we accept by faith what Jesus has done for us and that connection is restored.  If you are interested in having this personal relationship with God, pray the following prayer with sincerety of heart and Jesus will come into your life and give you a clean slate to start a new.  Christians call it being "born again".
