No Matter How You Say It…

During this holiday season we often hear the traditional greeting that extends ones wishes to another on how to spend this festive season. This greeting, of course, is said in many different languages throughout the world.

Instead of staying home to celebrate some people travel to a foreign country either to spend the season with family or friends or just visiting as a tourist. And what better way of connecting with a person of another country than to speak in their language.

Even if you cannot speak the language of the country you are visiting or of the people you will be spending time with, you can connect and extend a hand of friendship by saying the seasons’ greeting in their own language. So if you do not know how to say Merry Christmas in another language this might help.
