Happy Christmas...
... everyone. I've no idea why we Brits say "Happy" and everyone over here in the US says "Merry," but there you have it. Must be a Victorian hangover. Merry Christmas is something I can't quite get my tongue around. It's like bath. I still say ba-a-ah-th. Can't get that short "a" right. Ah, well. It's good to be here. And you don't want to hear about our plumbing. Happy Christmas!

A very happy Christmas to you and Ellie. Hope your day was full of good cheer.
Happy Christmas, Peter, to you and Ellie. And Merry Chanukah, too.
I'm so glad to know that George got through his ordeal. Having had two wisdom teeth removed a few months ago, I can empathize all too well.
Hope you and yours enjoyed a very happy Christmas indeed.
My time living in the U.K. permanently put the "happy" in place of "merry," but they mean the same, really. Enjoy!
Be proud of your origin.
Happy holidays!
