Lets welcome the year which is fresh and new, Lets cherish each moment it beholds, Lets celebrate this blissful New year. Merry X-masNew is the year, new are the hopes and the aspirations, new is the resolution, new are the spirits and forever my warm wishes are for u. Have a promising and fulfilling new year and Christmas.
May the joy and peace of Christmas be with you all through the Year. Wishing you a season of blessings from heaven above. Happy Christmasit seems most of europe says happy christmas. I grew up in a German Household..where we would say "Frohe Weinhachten" which translates to "Happy Christmas". so it's sorta normal to me.Happy Christmas and a very Merry New Year!!It was originaly "Happy Christmas and a Merry New Year" here in England. All you yanks and media/advertising atarted off the whole merry christmas thing and people here say it now too. So I try to keep the old tradition alive.Merry Christmas Eyeryone!The comment about "Merry" meaning "drunk" is idiotic and statement from a probable alcoholic.I'm glad the seasonal debate is over... 'Christmas' is a contraction... we celebrated Christ's Mass until Dickens and Marketing made it Merry... So why on earth does it matter if the holiday is Merry or Happy? Just Celebrate Christ'mas and be Merry and Happy!I put 'happy christmas and a merry new year' in my Christmas cards. But that was mostly just me being silly."Merry Christmas" is said so many times that it's like a seasonal "Have a Nice Day". I like Happy Christmas because it sounds a bit different. I noticed how much I liked it when it was said in the first Harry Potter movie.John and Yoko would be upset to hear this. (War is over if you want it...
I always go for Nadolig Llawen, but then, I'm a contrary bitch.It's Merry Christmas here too, in Canada. I've only heard Happy Christmas on English television...Both my Welsh and Irish relatives say Merry Christmas as do I, but then my family is a bunch of drunkards.I find it odd that there is a couple of people here both stating that in Ireland they say Happy Christmas because I'd always associated it with the English.
In Ireland we mostly say Happy Christmas. Merry Christmas sounds very British to me!!Merry Christmas indeed. I had thought Happy Christmas was a British thing as I heard it in the late 80s while I was living there. If it is the media, damn them and lumps of coal in their stockings.Oh! lovely voices of the sky
Which hymned the Saviour's birth,
Are ye not singing still on high,
Ye that sang, "Peace on earth"?
