In Other Words

Partly as a follow up on my comments about political correctness running amok I did a little research about the subject. The term "politically correct" was coined in the US in the 1980s by the rights to describe the liberals,not that where it comes from makes it less of an issue. The bottom line (to me) is that it seems like an Orwellian attempt to control peoples thoughts. I realize it is presented as a kinder way to refer to things that might be offensive,but generally people will think the same as they always have regardless of how much control they have of their speech. With that said I wanted to present some lesser known ways to say Merry Christmas.

Afrikaans: Geseende Kersfees
Greek: Kala Christouyenna
Icelandic: Gledileg Jol
Hindi: Bada Din Mubarak Ho
Korean: Sung Tan Chuk Ha
Polish: Wesolych Swiat Bozego Narodzenia
Welsh: Nadolig Llawen

Where ever you are and however you say it Merry Christmas to you all!
