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?

    Who is “everyone else” in this story?

    The only place I know that days Happy Christmas is the UK

    In Australia, it’s 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.

        Definitely not an American thing. It’s ALL Merry over here.

        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.”
