merry Christmas
December 25th wish
Merry Christmas is a greeting exchanged during the Christmas season, wishing someone joy and happiness: Merry Christmas to you and your family.
The phrase appears on cards, in songs, and as a casual farewell throughout December.
Some prefer Happy Holidays as a more inclusive alternative, though Merry Christmas remains the traditional and most common form.
