It is the holiday season. It’s not just Christmas here in Australia, we also celebrate the New Year. And then we also celebrate the Chinese New Year. But that’s in February next year. It’s the year of the Tiger according to the Chinese horoscope… if you’re interested to know. I love reading about this stuff. My husband thinks it’s pathetic. But that’s ok, it’s for my entertainment only.
Righto. Back to today’s “happy-sode”
So here we go guys, the THREE ways you can send someone wishes this holiday.
Number #1 – Something we all know….
Hope you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Easy peasy japanesey.
As you can see, “Christmas” has a silent “T”.
You can repeat after me if you want…
Greeting #2 – If you don’t celebrate Christmas but you still want to participate in the celebrations this holiday season, simply say “Happy Holidays”
Wishing you Happy Holidays!
So you can wish someone Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas.
