Merry Christmas or Happy Christmas?

Chuck Stone · 22-12-2011 06:32PM #1

I've noticed over the last coupla years that more people on the radio and TV are saying happy Xmas instead of merry Xmas.

If I'm not mistaken it's traditionally 'merry Xmas and happy solar revolution acknowledgement day'.

So which is best? Merry Xmas or Happy Xmas.
Pedantic bastards ye.

Can a mod add a poll please?

Used to be Happy Christmas then the country got rich and it changed to Merry Christmas, now we are bust again it's back to Happy Christmas.

So it's important to you to be compliant with the meeja ass holes who are full of their own importance. Poor you

You are mistaken. In Ireland the wish is for a "Happy Christmas and a Prosperous New Year", your hidden abuse of posters notwithstanding

Neither, your further hidden abuse of posters notwithstanding

Several people have said either "god jul" or "hyvää joulua" to me today. Both phrases literally mean "good yuletide/Christmas":):):).

It's always Merry Christmas, because a Happy New Year's usually tagged on at the end. FACT!

I've read this a few times and for the life of me can't figure out what you're going on about.

I hid a little message written in white in the OP and I think he got annoyed.

I didn't mean any harm.

Not at the messages so much as the sneaky way they were included.

BTW where did you rob my pre-school infant picture from?

First get merry and move swiftly on to getting happy. Works everytime.
