while it seems everyone else says ‘happy christmas’

which imo is a way better phrase, it’s very … pragmatic. happiness is more attainable than merriment. how often is anyone merry?

    Merry Christmas is a popular expression in the UK too.

    I think that merriment is actually much easier to attain than happiness. One could be miserable in life, but have a few drinks and be merry.

      Is it wrong for me to say that the pessimism with a side of alcohol is the most British you could possibly describe being merry?
