I am a German. I wish everyone 'Frohe Weihnachten' when I meet Germans around. If I would be in Britain, I say 'Merry Christmas'.

When will your heart grow three sizes bigger 🥲. I watched the movie (the Jim Carrey version) on Friday and was literally saying all of your lines

Joyeux Noel is the French local phrase and if you like to know another ones, @the bear is your man. :yes:
Joyeux Noël

So closer to Happy Christmas

I say Merry Christmas. I don't mind 'Happy Christmas' but 'Happy Holidays' is a bit of a(n irrational) pet peeve of mine :colondollar:

“Where’s the wine?” is a something I say a lot on Christmas. “Off with the ghastly music” is another.

In all seriousness, I generally will say “Merry Christmas” to others as it does sound marginally better than “Happy Christmas”.
