10. pardon me
Edited on Wed Dec-24-03 09:09 AM by JohnKleeb
Why its Slovenian.
I said Happy Holidays and Good Morning.
Would you prefer me talk in Russian?
Then you would get the cyrilic alphabet.

20. Tanoshii Kurisumasu to mo iemasu ga
Edited on Wed Dec-24-03 10:17 AM by Lydia Leftcoast
Merii Kurisumasu to iu hito mo imasu.

Before New Year's Day you say "Douzo yoi o-toshi wo," and upon seeing people for the first time in the first couple of days of the new year you say, "Akemashite omedetou gozaimasu."

If I remember correctly, the Chinese Christmas greeting is

Shengdan kuai le

Latvian is

Priecigus ziemas svetkus.

11. Felicxan Kristnasktagon!
Edited on Wed Dec-24-03 09:12 AM by BareKnuckledLiberal
"Happy Christmas" in Esperanto.

(Actually, "Felicxan" should be spelled "Felican" with a circumflex (^) over the C, but the software here can't handle the character set.)

Then, a week from now, Prosperplenan Novan Jaron!

(Literally, "Prosperity-full New Year"
And remember, in Esperanto, J="y")

Edit: Spelling, better link.
