        That's Latvian, with the Ziemassvçtki standing for "winterfest" and not being a Christian thing, having been celebrated by Pagan Latvians, too.

        St. Leo ?
        Thanks. I actually googled for the appropriate adjective last night, but didn't find anything. Lousy declensions.

        BTW, some of those characters are misrendering over here.

        Without elongating accents -- just draw out every vowel and you'll be speaking like a native-born Latvian in no time flat -- it would be:

        Priecigus Ziemassvetkus.

        Whoo, pagans, whoo!

                in dutch : Zalig Kersmis

                Zalig Kerstmis
                -
                That's the Catholic version (lit: Blessed Christmas). Us ordinary people just say :"Gelukkig kerstfeest" or "Prettige kerstdagen".
                Hmm, that's like saying "a happy christmas and a happy new-year"
                Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?
                Then why call him God? - Epicurus

                  Tsolyanu - Chitlasha! (Nothing even like Christmas in this culture. This comes closest. If you know anything about them the poem "The Night before Chitlasha" is a hoot.)
                  "And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man." -- JFK Inaugural, 1961
                  "Extremism in the defense of liberty is not a vice." -- Barry Goldwater, 1964 GOP Nomination acceptance speech (not George W. Bush 40 years later...)

                    That's not PC crap... it's called "not being an ignorant dumbass"... because not everyone is Christian. So someone saying "Merry Xmas" to a Jew or a Muslim is ignorant. Happy Holidays is just a one-size-fits-all way of spreading holiday joy without having to find out their life's history or cultural background.
