Happy Holidays. Merry Christmas. Happy Hanukkah. Happy Kwanzaa.
Happy Yule. Dies Natalis Solis Invicti (The birthday of the unconquered sun). Happy Winter Solstice. De Pascha Computus (The Calendar of Feasts). Feast of Epiphany.
And others....
Similarly, I wish you plenty of presents of joy from Santa Claus for those of you in Australia and the United States, Father Christmas in the United Kingdom, Svaty Mikalas in Czechoslovakia, Dun Che Lao Ren in China, Pere Noel in France, and Saint Nicholas in Germany, Russia, and Greece.
And, best wishes for people in Denmark with Julemanden, Iceland with Jolasveinar, Italy with La Befana, Japan with Hoteiosho, Norway with Julebukk, the Netherlands with Sinterklaas, Wales with Mari Ilwyd, Sweden with Tomte, Spain with Balthazar, ... and all others all round the world.
May stars shine brightly over your local skies in the future!
