? Blame my various phrase books - I copied their spelling.

In that case, you probably want to return those phrase books and demand
your money back.

Care to elaborate? The only one I was unsure of was the German (I have
always used "fröliche Weinachten", but assumed Berlitz knew better.)

Frohe Weihnachten is more common than fröhliche Weihnachten, yes.
But mind the use of the letter "h".

And I believe it's "joyeux Noël".

Yeah, you're right about the umlaut e - my apologies to all my
francophone friends to who I sent my greetings in French. Also my
apologies for the missing "h" in Weihnachten - my "spell-check" only
deals with American English. (It strongly objects when I use an "iour"
ending to a word which only uses "ior" here, too - like
behavior/behaviour.) Consequently, I don't always proofread my English
as well as I should, either.

What about Happy New Year?

=====
It sounds much better in French, but then, everything does.

In your list further up you had already incorporated it, as in "Merry
Christmas and Happy New Year;
In Irish, (agus =and) Dutch and Flemish (en = and)
Nollaig Shona (Duit) is more common place in Irish; see
http://www.smaointe.com/card-shop-page28583.html for variations. or
http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_th... ry_Christmas
for pronounciation and responses, but why they put a "h" in "duit" I
don't know.

Season's Greetings.

...and since it's Christmas, we don't mind spelling errors.
? Blame my various phrase books - I copied their spelling.
In that case, you probably want to return those phrase books and
demand your money back.
Care to elaborate? The only one I was unsure of was the German (I
have always used "fröliche Weinachten", but assumed Berlitz knew
better.)


Frohe Weihnachten is more common than fröhliche Weihnachten, yes.
But mind the use of the letter "h".

And I believe it's "joyeux Noël".

Yeah, you're right about the umlaut e - my apologies to all my
francophone friends to who I sent my greetings in French. Also my
apologies for the missing "h" in Weihnachten - my "spell-check" only
deals with American English. (It strongly objects when I use an "iour"
ending to a word which only uses "ior" here, too - like
behavior/behaviour.) Consequently, I don't always proofread my English
as well as I should, either.
I don't think you need to apologise for sending best wishes in a
language other than your own! As I missed the Chrissy part, I'll see
your Merry Christmas and up you a Happy New Year.
