Christmas is celebrated in many countries, in many different ways, but one thing is almost always present: a warm greeting.
Around the world people say “Merry Christmas” with their own words. In English you hear “Merry Christmas” or “Happy Christmas”. In Spanish people say “Feliz Navidad”, in French “Joyeux Noël”, in Portuguese “Feliz Natal”, in German “Frohe Weihnachten”, in Italian “Buon Natale”. In Ireland you might hear “Nollaig Shona Dhuit”, in Greece “Eftihismena Christougenna”, in Japan “Merii Kurisumasu”. Arabic speakers may say “Milad Mubarak”, and in many African and Asian countries local languages have their own beautiful versions. Learning a few of these greetings is a simple way to show respect and curiosity when you travel, volunteer abroad or meet international friends. A small phrase, spoken with a smile, can make people feel seen, welcome and part of a shared celebration.
