Say that again...


We are made up of a world of many divers people who some have become very near and dear to us, which is what prompted this post.
I have been reading a lot about how Christmas is celebrated in other countries around the world. Below are how they say "Merry Christmas" in other countries.


Australia - Merry Christmas
Belguim - Zalige Kertfeest
Brazil - Feliz Natal
China - Shen Tan Kuai Loh
Denmark - Glaedelig Jul
England - Happy Christmas (makes me think of the movie "Love Actually")
Finland - Hauskaa Joulua
Germany - Frohliche Weihnachten
Greece - Eftihismena Christougenna
Ireland - Nodlig mhaith chugnat
Indonesia - Selamat Hari Natal
Italy - Buon Natale
Japan - Kurisumasu Omedeto
Mexico - Feliz Navidad
Netherlands - Hartelijke Kerstroeten
Norway - Gledelig Jul
Poland - Boze Narodzenie
Portugal - Boas Festas
Romania - Sarbatori vesele
Russia - Hristos Razdajetsja
Croatia - Bozic
Slovenia - Screcno Novo Leto
Sweden - God Jul
United Stated - Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays (so I do not offend anyone)
Wales - Nadolig Llawen
Yugoslavia - Cestitamo Bozic

So wish your friends and family a Merry Christmas in their native language, let them know that you really care.
And no matter how you spend your holiday, I hope that it is a happy, healthy and safe one.
