Greetings To The World
by
Paul Curtis


�Happy Christmas� is what I chose to say
But other greetings are used for the day
By one and all during the festive season
And foreign languages are the reason
There's "Frolyke Kerstfeest" or "Joyoo Noel"
"Felleeth Navidad" even "Glaydlig Yool"
"Kalla Kristoogenna", "Boo-on Natarlee"
"Boas Festas" or "Sheng Dan Kwhy Lee"
You could say "Frerlicker Vine-akten"
Or maybe "Roshdesrom Kristovim" then
So you can say it in very many ways
But please never say �Happy Holidays�
