The Mass of Christ") is a Christian holiday that celebrates the birth of Jesus. (Christians believe Jesus is the Son of God). Christmas is also a cultural holiday for many non-Christians. Christmas Day is celebrated on the 25th day of December.Ever wondered where the phrase "Merry Christmas" comes from?
With December 25 inching up on us fast, you've probably been sending "Merry Christmas" wishes to everyone in your life, including friends and family. You've possibly even sprinkled it in an Instagram caption or two and on the face of your Christmas cards this year. After all, in a country where "Happy Easter" and "Happy Birthday" are the norm, that "merry" part of "Merry Christmas" is pretty unique. No one is entirely certain where the "merry" originated, but there are several interesting theories.Yes! For starters, it's important to note that "Happy Christmas" hasn't faded completely—it's still widely used in England. This is believed to be because "happy" took on a higher class connotation than "merry," which was associated with the rowdiness of the lower classes. The royal family adopted "Happy Christmas" as their preferred greeting, and others took note. (In fact, each year, Queen Elizabeth continues to wish her citizens a "Happy Christmas," rather than a merry one.)
But "Merry Christmas" has been used since at least 1534. A dated letter from bishop John Fisher to Henry VIII's chief minister Thomas Cromwell reveals as much. The English carol, "We Wish You a Merry Christmas," which was introduced in the 1500s, also uses the popular phrase.merry christan
