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.
Does that mean people can't drink and party on Christmas while relaxing with their family on New Year? As for sounding good, both "Merry" and "Happy" are two syllable words, so they can't be that different, can they? :D
