Flyleaf: Christmas Song Lyrics

A frightened virgin teenage girl 

Receives a message that defies the laws of this world 
All she can do is weep and nod 
She's to bring into this world the Son of God 

God's angels sound their trumpets 
And blow their horns 
Tonight the long awaited savior is to be born 
The goodness bound by Satan it has been torn 
With this baby's precious brow ready for thorns

Merry Christmas! Holiday greetings in different languages

Merry/Happy Christmas

The greetings and farewells "Merry Christmas" and "Happy Christmas" are traditionally used in North America, the United Kingdom, Ireland and Australia, commencing a few weeks prior to Christmas (December 25) of every year.

"Merry," derived from the Old English myrige, originally meant merely "pleasant, and agreeable" rather than joyous or jolly.

Christmas derived from the Old English Cristes mæsse, for Christ's Mass).

The phrase is often preferred when it is known that the receiver is a Christian or celebrates Christmas. The nonreligious often use the greeting as well, however in this case its meaning focuses more on the secular aspects of Christmas, rather than the Nativity of Jesus.

The alternative "Happy Christmas" gained usage in the late 19th century, and is still common in the U.K. and Ireland alongside "Merry Christmas".
