In English, most of us would greet one another over the festive interval with a jolly ‘Merry Christmas!’
This dates again to 1699, when an English admiral first used the time period in a casual letter. The phrase was then utilized in Charles Dickens’ ‘A Christmas Carol’ in 1843, and has been the usual seasonal greeting since.
Nevertheless, we all know we’re not the one ones to have fun Christmas, and Saint Nick has to drop presents off to individuals everywhere in the world.
