Merry Christmas or Happy Christmas? Xmas or Christmas?

[Sir Topham Hatt]

Quick poll, what do you usually say:

 

Merry Christmas or Happy Christmas?

 

Do you usually write xmas or Christmas?

 

Me:

 

Merry Christmas (and a HAPPY new year)

Christmas

 

Never the others.

Merry Christmas, but that's because I'm in the US.  Isn't happy mainly an English thing?

Do people say "ex-mas"? Surely Xmas is pronounced Christmas.

HAHA LOL

Always 'Christmas' never 'Xmas'

 

If I'm talking to someone I'll say "Happy Christmas" but if I'm writing it in a card or what-not, i write "Merry Christmas".

[Rohdekill]

Never once heard anyone ever say "happy christmas" in my life.

[LimeMaster]

I use "Merry Christmas" because it is what people usually say/type. :)

[Phouchg]

Bah! Humbug!

[LaP]

I say "Joyeux No?l"

[DarkyDan]

I generally write "Xmas", it's shorter, I'm lazy, and I'm also quite the atheist.

 

I say "Merry Christmas", because that's the traditional/expected thing to say.  I might also say "Have a good Christmas"

As the "You know what what's ######" video says, how about "Happy Shut the ###### up" :D

Christmas and it is Merry.   Happy goes with New Year, and Birthday, and every other holiday except Christmas.

[DaveGreen93]

Neither had I until the other day. All my family were saying it. I was so confused and the only one saying Merry Christmas.

Xmas has nothing to do with being athiest, just btw. Though on a similar note, I'm also athiest and I may say Xmas at times just because I know some Christians incorrectly think that it is an athiest's way of "taking Christ out of Christmas" just to be a dick and correct them. :laugh: I take odd enjoyment out of educating people about their own religion.

 

I say Merry Christmas and typically type the same as well. It's not hard for me to type out the extra letters. I've also never heard anyone say Happy Christmas personally, but that may be more common in other parts of the world.

Happy Saturnalia. 

 

Nah, Merry Christmas. Happy is usually for "Happy Holidays" in my experience.

"Merry Christmas" or more often "Happy Holidays."
