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?

    Personally, merry Christmas just sounds better than happy Christmas. Something about the repeated “m” sound, I think.

    The vast majority of Americans don’t even know that ‘merriment’ is a word. They just know you’re supposed to say ‘Merry Christmas.’ That’s it.
