Season’s greetings to you all. I’ve tried to include a message to readers from every country where I have a follower: apologies if I’ve missed you out. Though as you all speak English, maybe I didn’t need to do this. You may not celebrate Christmas: but most f us seem to have an end-of-year festiviy of some kind
From Pyrenees to Pennines 
Thank you! Merry Christmas!

That is a beautiful photo for Christmas, especially since I have not experienced much snow in my long life.
Have a lovely Christmas.

Snow used to be an annual event for us. But no longer. This shot was taken last New Year, and I doubt if it will be repeated in January 2026. Have a lovely Christmas, Tracy.

Well done you! Welsh is not at all easy to get the hang of, is it? I’m getting my knuckles rapped for not being inclusive enough – but Happy Christmas anyway!

Our Christmas night is over – the young one are playing with the retro computer games (really awful stuff from around the year 2000), the old one has gone to bed and so I’m left to tap-tap-tapping on the PC. BTW: That’s one advantage German parents have over English parents: I could always sleep in on Christmas Day! Have a wonderful festive time!

Well, we need Sinhala for Sri Lanka in February. I just checked how to say Merry Christmas, out of curiosity:
Subha nath-tha-lak vewa
සුභ නත්තලක් වේවා
And:
Happy new year wasanaa-wantha nava vasara(k) weva
වාසනාවන්ත නව වසරක් වේවා
I think I’m glad we’re going in February and I don’t need to master them!
