A language lesson...
Christmas (Jesus's Birthday) is celebrated all around the world, which is why I have so many homes to visit on Christmas Eve! And everywhere I go, there are greetings in different languages. Even in the United States, there are many ways to say “Merry Christmas” in native languages. In Hawaii, I’m welcomed with “Mele Kalikimaka!” The Inuit Eskimos in Alaska say, “Jutdlime pivdluarit ukiortame pivdluaritlo!” Members of Choctaw Nation say “Yukpa, Nitak Hollo Chito”, the Cree say, “Mitho Makosi Kesikansi”, the Navajo say, “Ya'at'eeh Keshmish" and the Iroquois have a much longer phrase: “Ojenyunyat Sungwiyadeson honungradon nagwutut. Ojenyunyat osrasay!” In later posts, I will share holiday greetings from other parts of the world.
Do you have a greating that you want me to share with the world?
Til tomorrow! Keep up the good work.
Love,
Santa
