Posts: 915 Dublin, Ireland | In Ireland we get into trouble if we say "Merry Christmas" We are told that we are getting too "Americanised". We have always said "Happy Christmas" and usually add "And a Prosperous New Year" " Happy Christmas and and a Prosperous New Year" to Mary, Rick and everyone on the Catsailor Forum

Posts: 324 South Florida | Yeah, I don't know where this "Merry" thing came from. We don't use that word for any other purpose where we mean Happy. Just like "Gay". Can you imagine someone telling you to have a "gay Christmas"! "Beg y'pard'n mate?"
