Happy Christmas or Merry Christmas? ...
Do you prefer Happy or Merry? My mum doesn't like to use Merry ... she doesn't like to think she is encouraging people to drink in excess, so prefers to use Happy. I don't really have a preference although I tend to use Happy more often if just using one sentiment on the outside of the card but very often wish people a ... Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. So tonight in my panic to create more Christmas cards I have catered for all tastes - ten cards, five that are Merry and five that are Happy! All I've done is create a problem for myself ... how do I know whether my friends prefer Happy or Merry ... I think I just need to relax and accept that not many people think so hard about this ... or maybe they do!

Looks like someone has been busy, these are great cards Elaine. Happy or Merry? I use both, like you I used to think too much into what other people prefer, but time is too short to worry! Just browsed your blog and realised that you are from Oxfordshire. I am there at mo visiting family for Christmas, Have a great time with your family too.

Lovely cards...I like your colour choice and the splash of silver. I always seem to put Merry....so then you can say Happy ....new year!
ReplyDeleteA lovely collection of seasonal cards and such a nice design as well.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for joining us at Penny Black and More challenge this month.
Wishing you a very Happy Christmas.

I always say Merry Christmas - I use Happy for New Year. I think it means merry as in the olde englishe "be of good cheer" rather than drinking too much. Anyway, happy or merry, your tags are gorgeous

Great set of cards here, as for Happy or Merry Christmas I know what you mean. I tend to say Happy unless I want to wish a Happy New Year too and then go for Merry like you do. Bit tricky isn't it ☺ Viv xx
ReplyDeleteForgot to wish you a Happy Christmas too 😁 Viv xx
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful! Love the design and wonderful color choices too. I always say Merry Christmas (and a Happy New Year) :-)

Your cards are so pretty. And Merry doesn't necessary mean you have to drink. I have never myself thought so.
ReplyDeleteThank you for playing with us at Inkspirational Challenges. Hope you will join us again :)

My OH doesn't like the use of Happy - so I try and use a mixture too. I thought Happy was from the US and Olde English was Merry over here? Anyway, happy or merry they are lovely cards.
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking the time to share with us at Penny Black & More challenge.
