Family and friends feel happy if you wish them, Merry Christmas in the language that they understand.
Christmas is a time of celebration. People from around the world celebrate Christmas on 25th Dec. Even if they are not connected to their friends for a long time, they reconnect with them by wishing them Merry Christmas in their native language. Your gesture of greeting can make your friends think that you still care about them.
The origin of wishing Merry Christmas to each other is not much clear. It is suspected that an English admiral first used the phrase Merry Christmas in an informal letter dated back in 1699. At the same time, Merry Christmas was used in a non-religious song that says We wish you Merry Christmas. This song is still famous now.
Charles Dickens used the same phrase in their book A Christmas Carol in 1843. In the same era, the first Christmas Card was developed for purchase with the saying Merry Christmas. This greeting hit the heart of people from around the world and became so papular. This commercial card also contains greetings for the holidays.
The word Merry is an alternative to the word happy. It depicts enjoying the holidays. It is mentioned in the classic book of Christmas Carols, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen. This greeting gives the message of love, harmony, and well wishes to others despite differences in belief systems. By greeting Merry Christmas to others, you can make connections with strangers. It removes the hatred and anger from the hearts of people and develops new relationships based on humanity. Merry Christmas, the two words have a powerful impact on others.
In different parts of the world, people greet Merry Christmas with little variations. For instance, in Ireland and Great Britain, people say Happy Christmas instead of Merry Christmas. The Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain also wishes the public the phrase Happy Christmas. This is why this phrase got papular in that part of the world.
The influence of the phrase is not changed because of the word happy. Merry and happiness make the same meaning of love and harmony despite of change in words. In one of the famous poems, A visit from St. Nicholas, the writer used the word Happy Christmas. The word happy has become more intricate than the word merry because of its massive use in lower classes. However, the royal families also greet the public with the phrase Happy Christmas.
The preparation for the Christmas season starts with the arrival of winter. The people decorate their homes. They install Christmas trees with lights, hang advent wreaths, and create a scene that shows the birth of Jesus Christ. Santa Claus comes to houses to give candies to children. The families and friends visit Churches for prayers and have lunch or dinner together. The retailers offer sales to the customers. They look for ways that how to satisfy the customer's requirements during Christmas break. When people are enjoying the Christmas holidays, retailers are giving attention to detail in their business to reap profits. Greeting Merry Christmas to business partners and customers is a very good way of developing long-term relationships. Whether it is the traditional Christmas cards or sending email greetings, it is a part of many global companies' marketing strategies.
Greetings show well wishes without any other motives. If you send a traditional Christmas card than an email then it is more noticed as compared to an email that is often found in trash folders. Traditional greeting cards are regarded more if they are hand-written and signed. Christmas greeting cards and emails create a long-lasting relationship between the sender and receiver. These cards and emails thank the consumers for their business with them for the entire year. Moreover, they expect that they will bring more business to them in the coming year. With Christmas greetings, companies also wish the customer a prosperous new year ahead.
In the business world, sending Christmas greetings is regarded as a professional marketing tool that cultivates casual contact with business stakeholders and customers. To get the most out of your Christmas greetings and to stand out from your competitors, it is suggested to send the greetings in their native language or a multilingual format.
Christian community is spread all around the world. Most European and Western countries follow the Christianity religion. In these countries, Christmas is celebrated with fervor. The countries where Christians are in minority are also given holidays by the government to celebrate Christmas with their communities.
