How do you say Merry Christmas?

[mastrmindalliance]

Merry Christmas Everyone! I've sent out many Christmas greetings this year in a few languages: Maligayang Pasko (Tagalog), yē dàn jié (Mandarin), Selamat Hari Natal (Malay), Frohe Weihnachten (German) and Feliz Natal (Brazilian Portugese).

This got me wondering how the seasonal greetings are uttered around the world. I figured there's no better place to ask than here... So, how do you say it?

Also, feel free to correct any of mine above and if you celebrate it - Have a great day!
