    Hello everybody!

    How do you say "Merry Christmas" in your native language?

    In the UK we say Merry Christmas, but most of the time as it's the UK we have to get politically correct and say Season's Greetings because not everybody in the UK is Xtian.

    I never quite understood that, i mean it's christmas you're celebrating (wether you're christian or not), so why is it so politically incorrect to actually refer to christmas as christmas?

    "Glædelig jul" - or as my grandpa would have said: "Glæe'li' jul" in his oldman dialect...


    I wish you all a happy Yule,

    -wolf- :)

    ...or Christmas... whatever you prefer, depending if you are christians or pagans... (or maybe you even please a way of living that make you realize that such banal issues are more banal than a banal banana?) :)

    love,

    -wolf-

    whoa... that would be a splendid name for a band, btw...: "The banal banana babes"...


    Sounds good pronouncing, doesn't it? Try saying it 200 times in a row - it's kicking... you turn into a trancelike state... :)
