Santa's Grumpy Elf wishes you a
Merry Christmas!

A Grumpy Old Elf answers your questions about "Merry Christmas".

• Who sings "We Wish You A Merry Christmas"?
  It seems like EVERYONE sings "We Wish You A Merry Christmas"!  (Well, except maybe for me, but I'm just a grumpy elf!)  It is CHRISTMAS after all?  What do you want them to sing?  We wish you a GRUMPY Christmas!?  (Hey, wait, I like the sounds of that!)  Maybe Mariah Carey and the Celtic Woman will sing that for me instead of that "We Wish You A Merry Christmas" song they keep singing.
• Is it Merry Christmas or Happy Christmas?
  What?  You can't make up your mind if you want to have a Merry Christmas or a Happy Christmas?  How hard is that?  I'll tell you what, if you live in the U.S. or Canada you go have yourself a Merry Christmas.  If you live in the U.K. go have yourself a Happy Christmas!  There!  Problem solved!  Just don't wish me a Sneezin's Greetings!  Why would anyone want to wish someone "Sneezin's Greetings"?  Gross!
• How can I say "Merry Christmas" around the World?
  Hmm, let me think.  How would I say "Merry Christmas" around the World?  I'd probably say it from Santa's flying sleigh.  After all, it would take too long to run around the world saying "Merry Christmas".  Oh, I know!  I'd say "Merry Christmas" in a space shuttle while it flew around the world.  Would that do it?  Of course, it would still take a while, so I'd probably play some Word Find games like the ones on this "How to say Merry Christmas or Happy Christmas in different languages" game page while I was going around the World.
• What about Merry Christmas Youtube?
  Now you're just being silly!  Why would you want to wish "Merry Christmas" to Youtube?  Do you think all those cats on Youtube can hear you or something?  I may be a grumpy elf, but even I know you can't say "Merry Christmas" to Youtube!
• When can I say "Merry Christmas"?
  You can say "Merry Christmas" pretty much any time you are awake.  Unless you are like me and talk in your sleep.  Then you can say "Merry Christmas" any time.  Day or night!  Of course, most people say it in December, but we say it all year round at the North Pole!  Saying "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Christmas" almost makes me not be grumpy!  (Hey, I said ALMOST!)
• We Wish You A Merry Christmas Lyric
  Now why would you want to wish a Merry Christmas to just Lyric?  Yes, Lyric is a really nice elf.  But why not wish a Merry Christmas to Clumsy the Elf or Santa or Rudolph too?  Why do so many people only want to wish a Merry Christmas to Lyric?  I guess it's better than giving her a Sneezin's Greetings.  Maybe you could just sing her that Christmas song instead.  You know, the one that has the words:
  Good tidings we bring
  To you and your kin;
  Good tidings for Christmas
  And a happy New Year!
  We wish you a Merry Christmas
  We wish you a Merry Christmas
  We wish you a Merry Christmas
  And a happy New Year.
  Now bring us some figgy pudding
  Now bring us some figgy pudding
  Now bring us some figgy pudding
  And a cup of good cheer
  We won't go 'til we get some
  We won't go 'til we get some
  We won't go 'til we get some
  So bring it out here!
  We wish you a Merry Christmas
  We wish you a Merry Christmas
  We wish you a Merry Christmas
  And a happy New Year!
