Merry Christmas around the world!! (foreign language thread)

Could DUers let me know how to say Merry Christmas in other languages?

I'll start: in English it's "Merry Christmas" :P

13. Priecîgus Ziemas Svetkus!

That's Latvian, not Japanese. It's pronounced "Pria-tsee-goos Zia-mahs Svat-koos."

And even though it's not their holiday (although Christmas Eve has become the biggest night of the year for going out and getting drunk), the Japanese say Kurisumasu Omedetô (Koo-ree-soo-mah-soo Oh-meh-deh-TO)

17. Merii Kurisumasu!

In Japanese. Well, not really, it's just what they say because they have no words for it, like a lot of Western stuff, but I always thought it was cute. "Season's Greetings" to you sweetie! :hi: :loveya: :toast:
