It is NOT illegal to say Merry Christmas in the United States. To pass a law like that would be against the 1st Amendment of the Constitution and if that were to happen there are many more things that really do need laws against than that. Many people say "Happy Holidays" to others out of respect that not everyone celebrates Christmas since it is a Christian holiday and not everyone is Christian. There is also an Constitutional amendment for the freedom of religion and the US does not have a state sponsored religion.

Why is it 'Merry Christmas' not 'Happy Christmas'?

It is "Happy Christmas" in some places. It was originally "Merry", but in England by Victorian times (that is, during the reign of Queen Victoria) "Merry" had come to be a euphemism for "drunken", and Victoria didn't think it was appropriate for her to wish her subjects "drunken Christmas", so she went with "Happy". "Happy" still predominates in the UK and and in former Commonwealth countries; elsewhere where English is spoken (basically, in the US) "Merry" is more common (the US had broken away from the British Empire before Victoria was born).
