Show ! Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas! The spirit conveyed by these words is the same in all countries, but th" words themselves sometimes fall harshly on American ears. ; -'Merry Christmas" in French has a soft and musical sound. It Is '-'oyeux Noel." In Spain the greeting is "Feliz Pascuas", and in Italy, 'Buon Natale". I fr Sweden it is "God Jul" and Norway, "Gladig Jul". In Germany and Holland the greeting is a tongue-twister thai will stump the average America. The Germans say "Froehliche Weihnach- tn" and the Dutch, "Pleizicr Kerstfeest". But whatever the language, the spirit behind this greeting is the s?mtf wherever there are men of goodwill. |
