Why we always greet "Merry Christmas"?

EconKnowMix @EconKnowMix (858) • Philippines 12 Dec 06

Why we always used the word "Merry" in greeting Merry Christmas? Why not instead joyful, holy and etc?

rising_above_hate I love mixing it up^^ On cards I sometimes write "Have a Happy Christmas and a Merry New Year!!" I'm always on the lookout for even more creative ideas than that one!

rising_above_hate I may sound like I'm getting feminist on you, but... Your husband and sons probably don't like the show Roseanne because unlike many other shows, a woman is dominant instead of a man. I could be wrong about the men in your life, but I know I'm right about...

rising_above_hate I don't think the time you get married should depend on your age. Marriage should not be rushed into; this is something more people obviously need to know, given the divorce rate. Too many people seem to think they know what love is, but unfortunately,...
