while it seems everyone else says ‘happy christmas’

which imo is a way better phrase, it’s very … pragmatic. happiness is more attainable than merriment. how often is anyone merry?

    I’m from the UK, and I’ve always said merry.

    I doubt it’s any more prevalent in a specific country and more likely specific to individual families and friends.

    For example, i always thought it was an american thing to say happy christmas.

        My family always said happy, but we also say Gesundheit, so who knows

      Either way, happy and merry Christmas to you :)

      In the US, it’s incredibly rare if not impossible to find someone who says “Happy Christmas.” It’s either “Merry Christmas” or “Happy Holidays.”
