I do! I know someone! (This isn't in America though, and I think she's dead now.) When I was in 4th Class, Sister Anne Mary used to get very offended by "Merry Christmas" because merry means drunk, and Christmas is about god. So we had to say "Blessed Christmas" or we could stretch a point and say "Happy Christmas." If you said "Merry Christmas", you were doing the devil's work. If you did too much of the devil's work, you got caned and also you burned in hell for all eternity. (She had pictures of hell. Very Krampus-like)
Not sure if that helps your poll, Perks. Sr Anne Mary never really got the traction she wanted with this one. Even teacher's pet Deirdre Casey thought it was daft.
