      This Dutch is very similar to English...

          That's the Catholic version (lit: Blessed Christmas). Us ordinary people just say :"Gelukkig kerstfeest" or "Prettige kerstdagen".

                          Indonesian:

                          Selamat hari Natal!

                          (Literally:

                          Selamat = congratulatory or celebratory exclamation

                          hari = day

                          Natal = Christmas (entered language from Portuguese)

                          )
                          Everything changes, but nothing is truly lost.

                            Latin:

                            Volumus hilarem festum
                            Volumus hilarem festum
                            Volumus hilarem festum
                            Et Bonum Annum

                            (repeat until drunk)
                            I drink to one other, and may that other be he, to drink to another, and may that other be me!

                                In Turkish:

                                Mutlu Noeller! (Merry Christmas)

                                In Turkish, many concepts about Christianity are from the Orthodox terminology (like Easter is 'paskalya' from Greek 'paskha') but christmas is obviously from French, somehow: Noel (plural in Turkish: Noeller)

                                Mutlu Yillar! (Happy New Year)
