i wonder just the opposite. "Why do they say happy??" I guess it's just the same way we have different words for different things. You say mate, we say friend.  |

That is interesting. However the words, essentially mean the same thing so it's probably just an affinity for one word over the other. Just because we don't say Merry now alot, doesn't mean it wasn't all the rage back in the day. Well, it would have to be Waaayyyyy back in the day..but still...a plausible theroy I feel. And the only reason we think it sounds weird is because we have been saying it the other way for a long time.<RegretfulHalo>  |

I've always wondered that too...and maybe it's just because I've heard it all my life, but I think "Merry Christmas" sounds better than "Happy Christmas." :-D  |
