1) Its not christmas. isitchristmas.com - NO. Its not. You can say "merry christmas eve", but I don't want any of this "merry christmas" until its actually christmas.
2) Its not "happy" christmas. Noone ever has a happy christmas. "merry" - yes, they're usually all pissed, but along with the arguments, shouting, annoyance, its rarely "happy".
