That's funny, since Dickens was English, and it's very American to say "Merry Christmas" instead of the much more English "Happy Christmas".

“Merry Christmas” and “Happy Christmas” are both widely used in the UK.

Yes, but "Happy Christmas" isn't really used over here.

If I'm doing the combo it's "Merry Christmas and a happy New Year". Just the one and I'll say "Happy Christmas".

I thought Americans said Happy Holidays to be neutral to religion?
