The best analogy I can come up with at the moment is that of the "Just Married" shoe polish tradition on cars. A couple who has just gotten married want to share their happiness on their occasion by announcing it to everyone else. In return, most people who see the car are not offended by it but rather are happy for them.
The same can apply to Christmas. If a Christian says "Merry Christmas" to a non-Christian, or invites them to a Christmas Party, the only thing the non-Christian has to do is be happy for the fact that the Christian is celebrating an important event. There is nothing elsethat needs to be done.

OK to satisfy you, then you should say "Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, and may you have a blessed Festivus" to cover all areas while not stripping the message of the whole Christian reference.
