BBC Question:Happy Birthday v.s Merry Christmas

Message 1 - posted by Vivian (U14277628) **, 11 Hours Ago

Why do we always hear “Merry Christmas”, but I haven’t heard anyone say “Merry New Year” or “Merry Birthday”? Is that ok? Or there is any rule about it.

Hi, Vivian,

There's no rule about it - it's just the way we speak.

'Merry New Year' or 'Merry Birthday' just don't sound right.
