| Elf on the Shelf Saying Good-bye Odenton, MD December 25, 2024 |
It is finally here.
Some have been planning for this day since Christmas 2023.
Others, like me, waited until almost the last day.
Of course, my favorite shopping day is Christmas Eve. I enjoy the adrenaline rush of urgency coupled with the exhaustion of the season-ending push to the finish line.
I think even our Elf-on-the Shelf was exhausted by the preparations this year.
So I've been wondering, which is proper: Happy Christmas or Merry Christmas? I have been leaning more towards Happy over Merry since merry connotes a more party and merriment atmosphere--and preparing for Christmas is definitely not a party and certainly at times is not festive.
I looked up the differences and it seems that both are acceptable with Merry being more common in the U.S. while Happy is more British.
So to all (even though I'm in the U.S.)
Happy Christmas 2024
May your life be filled with the wonderment and joy of the season. Blessings to you and your family.
