Has anyone else wondered why people use the phrase "Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year" instead of "Happy Christmas and a Merry New Year"? I have been thinking about it for ages and no one has been able to come up with an answer to satisfy my curiosity.
Anyway, mind-boggling questions aside,
Happy Christmas everyone, though the day is already over where I am.
Merry = Visiting with family, relaxing, presents.
Happy = DRINKING UNTIL & BEYOND MIDNIGHT!
And 'Merry Christmas' just
sounds good. Same for 'Happy New Year'.
Also: Merry Christmas, Kwanzaa, & Hanukkah to everyone! Hope ya have a Happy New Year as well.
