I know it's the American custom to wish people a "Merry" Christmas. But "merry" seems so impermanent. Any fool with a bottle of whiskey can make himself merry. But happiness . . . well, happiness is a state of being, a contentment with the world and life. So today, I will borrow a turn of phrase from the British.
Peace on Earth, goodwill to all . . . and Happy Christmas to you and yours.
And, Happy Christmas back to all of you! Mary, Slade, and Rowdy in MInnesota
ReplyDeleteMy daughter and I were having a conversation the other day about "Merry Christmas" vs. "Happy Christmas" and in the midst of it she said, "And how did we lose our British accents?" Hee! I love kids.
ReplyDeleteHappy Christmas, everyone!
And to you, too!
ReplyDeleteThat was deep! Happy Christmas to you and your as well.
