and German: "Fröhliche Weihnachten" (there are many ways to say it, but I remember this one which translates to Joyful Christmas.

or З Калядамі - Belarus

(My father's side of the family emigrated from what appears to now be Belarus, but was part of Russia at the time. Of course, they were Jewish, but it seems too weird to post "Merry Christmas" in Yiddish.)

Калядамі

My grandparents lived in a shtetl named Divin near Brest.

God rest you merry, gentlemen.

Blessings of Christmas. Ireland

Scotland.



*reminder holly is poisonous to pets...

It did not phase her one single bit.
She was rather ornery so I guess the plant did not dare make her sick.

That cat would sit on the foot of the bed and stare at the dog, who was in the hallway and wanted to come in the room He would not cross the threshold as long as she sat there and glared at him. He would just sit there and whimper.

or "You're welcome".

and yours hail from Sweden--how nice!

My grandfather also spoke German. About 95% of my family was from Germany and Switzerland. Some Dutch and a bit of English/Scottish.

My ancestry is a mixed bag. English, Irish, Scottish, and French. But most of it is Welsh. My Welsh ancestors hail from the Gwynne family.

What a paralyzingly beautiful country.

It has everything I’ve ever dreamed of in a home. Lush green landscapes, entrancing mists, frequent rain, and friendly people who are proud of their often off-putting environment.

I have all of that in Washington State. But I would have it squared in Wales. Maybe I’ll retire there.

His dad was a strict Baptist preacher and daddy didn't want to be baptized (dunked) at age 14 so he had to leave home when he graduated from high school. He came to Dallas where he met my mother and where I was born.

But he was the non-Welsh side of my family.

Rõõmsaid Jõulupühi

There's supposed to be a tilde over the o's

From a fellow Estonian (& Swede)

Ma elan Lakewoodi Eesti Maja ligidal. Kust olete pa"rit?

Ma elan New Mexicos. Ühel aastal mängisin oma kirikus Santa Lucia't. Minu vanaema kolis Eestist Sedenisse

I used a translator.

although I was born in the U.S. My parents spoke English, but figured I'd pick it up fast in school.
Years of Estonian Saturday school and camp kept me fairly fluent in Estonian.
Lakewood is in NJ, btw.

Cristes mæsse
The noun Christmas, deriving from the Old English Cristes mæsse (the mass or festival of Christ), took hold only in the early twelfth century.

Otherwise, Happy 🎄 Christmas 🎄

French and Irish.

Frohi Wienachte -- Berndeutsch (Bern Swiss German)

Happy Christmas -- England

My father's family had German Swiss from Bern on one side and English on the other. But those English ancestors were Puritans who did not celebrate Christmas because they thought it had too many Pagan customs.

Funny, true story about a German Swiss ancestor named Gottlieb Herd. My aunt could not find him at first in census records when doing a genealogy search, because the census taker did not understand his accent. When she found him, he was listed as Cutlip Hurt, from Bear, Germany.

I guess your lip would hurt if it was cut by a German bear.

BTW, there is no Bear, Germany. But Bern in German sounds like bear with an "n" at the end. Great grandpa apparently said he was German from Bern.

I haven't traced them farther back than that.

But I did look up more info on the German Swiss. They have a different dialect than German in Austria or Germany. The dialect in Bern (both the city and their equivalent of the county by the same name) is different from the rest of Swiss German speakers. Bern Swiss even has its own name, Bernese. I guess being separated by mountains creates a variety of speaking patterns.

Wesołych Świąt - Polish

Frohe Weihnachten - German

50/50 blend.

Joyeux Noel -- French
Nollaig Shona duit -- Irish

Joyeux Noël (France)
Nollaig Shona (Ireland)

I'm a mutt.

from my other ancestors, Merikurisumasu, Japan, and Merry Christmas, England

From all my British ancestors:

Nollaig Shona Dhuit: Irish
Nollaig Chridheil: Scot Gaelic
Nadlig Llawen: Welsh
Merry Christmas, debm53

🎄🎅🏻

England. Actually British Isles (England, Scotland & Ireland), but I don't know the Irish or Scottish greetings.
Oh heck, also German and French, and don't know those either. Have studied "me" way back.

Nollaig Shona Dhuit--Irish

My father made this claim about his grandfather. I have refused to believe it as I'm no Martian.

I'm Croatian on my mother's side and German on my father's.

Belgium in the Walloon region

Everything else seems to be British Isles in one form or another.
So I looked up for Switzerland:

There are different ways to say "Merry Christmas" in Switzerland, depending on the official language spoken in that region:

Swiss German: Schöni Wiehnachte or Fröhliche Weihnachten (this is probably the correct one since my Swiss ancestors were from the Bern area)
French: Joyeux Noël
Italian: Buon Natale
Romansh: Bellas festas da Nadal

Happy ChrismaHannaKwanzica to all!
