while it seems everyone else says ‘happy christmas’...
berkeleyblue, 1 year ago Tradition, mostly. Dickens used Merry Christmas in his Christmas Carol and the US used the greeting since the 19th century. In the UK however, happy christmas is more common as the royals used that phrase. There’s apparently no big thing behind it. Just the way language evolved with different influences in different regions.
