Which Holiday greeting do you use
 

This is just a quest for knowledge.
How many of you say "merry Christmas"
And how many say the generic "Happy Holidays"

I say Merry Christmas or
Feliz Navidad or
Frohliche Weinnachten (?spelling?)

:rocks:

In argentina there is no such a big difference between both greetings. In general, people say "Felices Fiestas!" (which can roughly translate as Happy holidays), but when nearer to Christmas, people start using the Merry christmas greeting more and more, until the 25nd, when they start using almost exclusively the Happy new year greeting. Some old school people say Feliz navidad y un prospero año nuevo (merry christmas and a prosperous new year), but they are a minority.

And for myself, I tend more to the Felices Fiestas and the Feliz Año Nuevo kind of greeting, reserving the Feliz Navidad for the 24/25.

Fröhliche Weihnachten.

in different Language.

I tend to say Happy Christmas, sometimes with and a Happy New Year. I don't really care what the other person says, Happy Holidays or the Jewish one (I don't know how to spell it.) it's all the same, the meaning is what counts. Wishing that someone else will have a good time over this generaly happy period. To me at least.

"God Jul" or "Gledelig Jul", or the more lengthy "God/Gledelig Jul og godt nytt år".

Oh yes, your heathen norwegian tongue tops it all. I say Merry Christmas or Happy Hanukah, depending. If I liked the French, I might say Joyeux Noel :3:

"Nen goe utende" will be swell enough.

No translation, sorry, wouldn't know how to translate this.
(Maybe Red knows how to translate this .....? )

"bah humbug" tends to work for me...

or "merry christmas", if I'm feeling in a good mood.

Though I'm not religious, so I feel the entire season is a bit odd really. Maybe I should start saying "Winter's Greetings!" to people or something...

PL: Wesołych Świąt :)

Same as Merry christmas.

In Dutch it's pretty much the same as in English, I suppose.

I typically wish people 'prettige feestdagen' (have a nice holiday period), and most people I know seem to use this. It's also the top result on Google :3:

But 'prettige kerstdagen' (have a nice Christmas) is very common too. Usually followed up by 'en een gelukkig nieuwjaar' (and a happy new year).
