  • Holiday Greetings - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia 11/15/10 12:15 AM Holiday Greetings from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Holiday greetings - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 11/15/10 12:15 AM Holiday greetings From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Holiday greetings are a selection of greetings that are often spoken with good intentions to strangers, family, or friends, in nations around the world, during the months of December and January. Holidays with greetings include Christmas, New Year's Day, Chinese New Year, Thanksgiving (United States), and Hanukkah. Some greetings are more prevalent than others, depending on the cultural and religious status of any given area. Typically, a greeting consists of the word "Happy" followed by the holiday, such as "Happy Eid", "Happy Hanukkah", or "Happy New Year", although the phrase "Merry Christmas" is a notable exception. In the United States, the collective phrase "Happy Holidays" is often used as a generic cover-all greeting for all of the Winter holidays, Thanksgiving, Christmas Day, and New Year's Day. Controversy has arisen in the U.S regarding its usage of the phrase "Happy Holidays", as an alleged attempt to diminish the Christian elements of Christmas, although its use promotes other holidays commonly celebrated there. Contents 1 Merry/Happy Christmas 1.1 History of the phrase 2 Happy Holidays 3 Season's Greetings 4 Christmas and Holiday Greetings 4.1 Christmas Wishes (Non-English) 4.2 Non-English, Non-Christmas 4.3 English 4.4 Other 5 See also 6 References 7 External links Merry/Happy Christmas The greetings and farewells "Merry Christmas" and "Happy Christmas" are traditionally used in North America, the United Kingdom, Ireland and Australia, commencing a few weeks prior to Christmas (December 25) of every year.

He would bring presents to good children in Switzerland and Germany. He is angelic and is often drawn with blond hair and angel wings. People in Germany, Austria, Italy and Brazil believe in Christkind. Kris Kringle: There are two stories on the origin of Kris Kringle. The first one is that some one mispronounced Christkind and it stuck. The second one is that Kris Kringle began as Belsnickle among the Pennsylvania Dutch in the 1820s. He would ring his bell and give out nuts and cakes to the children but if they misbehaved they would get a spanking with his rod. The Yule Lads: The Yule Lads or Yulemen, are a group of thirteen mischievous creatures that have taken over Santa Claus in Iceland. They are known for their playful nature and each one has their own different, quite weird trick. For example, Ketkrokur uses a long hook to steal meat into people windows in order to find things to steal in the night.
