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?

I’m from the UK, and I’ve always said merry.
I doubt it’s any more prevalent in a specific country and more likely specific to individual families and friends.
For example, i always thought it was an american thing to say happy christmas.
Definitely not an American thing. It’s ALL Merry over here.
In the US, it’s incredibly rare if not impossible to find someone who says “Happy Christmas.” It’s either “Merry Christmas” or “Happy Holidays.”
Either way, happy and merry Christmas to you :)
Happy Merry to you too!
