Nice list of translation. Just a typo in Dutch, it is "Kerstfeest" instead of "Kerstfeast"
Normally we say in Netherland "Prettige Kerstdagen en Gelukkig Nieuwjaar"

Dutch: Vrolijk Kerstfeest en een Gelukkig Nieuwjaar! or Zalig Kerstfeast
 
Merry Christmas to you too, and to everyone else that celebrates the holidays, no matter what they are.

Mischien fries ofzo? En je vergat het woord "een" ;)
 
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all.


@ Madog: Krismas Njema Na Heri Za Mwaka Mpya (in Swahili :p)

@ T_J: nice b...alls on ..... er ..... the tree :whistle: ..... :p :D


EDIT: trivia game, find the shortest and longest ways for say "merry Christmas" ..... i've found these, but i'm not sure if there's something better:

Bon Ndau <- shortest, in Arans

Krist Yesu Ko Shuva Janma Utsav Ko Upalaxhma Hardik Shuva <- longest, in Nepali

:D

Klingons don't have Christmas holiday anymore ..... the first time Santa entered in their space for deliver gifts, they thoughd it was a spy and shooted him with a solar bomb trying to blow him up, so he cancelled Klingons from the "good peoples" list ..... :p :D

(Other than this, their better auge is "die with honor", i don't think they may auge "Merry ....." about nothing :p :D)
