I was told that its forbidden because how can you tell someone what they are celebrating this wrong, if you are wishing them happiness from celebrating.For example saying "Merry Christmas", is wishing that someone will find joy in the event of Christ's birth. The announcement of the Angel to the Shepherds in the Gospel of Luke clarifies the sentiment behind "Merry Christmas"
