Who is "everyone else" in this story?
The only place I know that days Happy Christmas is the UK
In Australia, it's merry
I'm from the UK, and I've always said merry.
I doubt it's any more prevalent in a specific country and more likely specific to individual families and friends.
For example, i always thought it was an american thing to say happy christmas.
Definitely not an American thing. It's ALL Merry over here.
My family always said happy, but we also say Gesundheit, so who knows
Either way, happy and merry Christmas to you :)
Happy Merry to you too!
In the US, it's incredibly rare if not impossible to find someone who says "Happy Christmas." It's either "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Holidays."
