	Merry Christmas in Italian is Buon Natale, though... great quiz, however. :) however you say it, have a great holiday!

	Happy Holidays everyone

	For the love of god, take Sretan Bozic off the Slovakian one before my mom sees this and goes off on another tirade against Yugoslavians. Vesele vianoce is Slovak, Sretan Bozic is probably Slovenian.

	The 2nd Dutch word is "Kerstfeest", not "Kerstfeast". ;) But hey, happy holidays to everyone here!

	Bah, humbug. Way too many christmas quizzes lately.

	Hebrew Should accept also: Moadim lesimcha (without the ' and with ch instead of kh), and also: Chag Molad Sameach (Happy Christmas), Chag Chanuka Sameach (Happy Hannuka), and in Hebrew letters: מועדים לשמחה, חג מולד שמח, חג חנוכה שמח.

	The Dutch version should be "Zalig kerstfeest", but even better is "gelukkig kerstfeest" or "vrolijk kerstfeest"

	Kerstfeast? Finally something Dutch in Sporcle, and it has a spelling mistake...

	A couple more languages would be fun...Wesolych swiat!!!

	merry xmas! The hebrew one actually means happy holidays, merry christmas in hebrew is "chag molad sameach" or other various spellings

	mattrd08:	Dec 27th, 2008 at 03:21 GMT	4 points
	How are nearly 2% of people NOT getting the English one when it says it right in the title?

	Bray:	Dec 27th, 2008 at 20:31 GMT	3 points
	Not a criticism at all, as I'm sure the version here is correct-er, but I was taught German was 'Froehe Weihnachten' (oe should be o+umlaut, but I can't be bothered to type that out correct)

	meadhbh:	Dec 28th, 2008 at 01:14 GMT	2 points
	I love this quiz! Just want to point out though, that the Irish one: Nollaig shona dhuit- means happt christmas to you- not merely happy christmas. Just to let you know- cos I'm an irish speaker, and i wa caught out- embarrassingly! But I was DELIGHTED you included Irish! Go riabh míle maith agat!

	Catherine_F:	Dec 28th, 2008 at 20:41 GMT	2 points
	Yeah I would expect Fröhe Weihnachten to be equally acceptable for the German answer (and Bray, it's alt+148, the typing of which would have taken you 70 fewer keystrokes than what you did say.)

	What about God Jul? [Norwegian]

	Tirion:	Dec 30th, 2008 at 21:08 GMT	1 point
	@catherine and Brad It would be 'Frohe Weihnachten' not 'Fröhe Weihnachten'

	Why in the world do more people know "Merry Christmas" in Hawaiian than in German??

	Jovvit:	Apr 14th, 2009 at 16:12 GMT	-2 points
	Everything has just been thrown into a translation machine. No one in French ever says joyeux, Weihnachten is plural and only old people say zalig kerstfeest

	pa_dutch:	Aug 13th, 2009 at 15:25 GMT	2 points
	Melissa: Why wouldn't they? "Mele Kalikimaka" is a pretty well-known Christmas song.

	Isomart:	Sep 27th, 2009 at 14:47 GMT	1 point
	@Jovvit: Joyeux Noël is correct - We DO say Joyeux in French. For example either to say Merry Christmas or Happy Birthday: Joyeux Noël, Joyeux anniversaire...

	rockgolf:	Oct 7th, 2009 at 18:11 GMT	5 points
	Wouldn't this work better in reverse? You give us the phrase "Merry Christmas" and we have to identify the language?

	choco87:	Nov 17th, 2009 at 10:47 GMT	1 point
	In Dutch its zalig kerstfeest not 'feast'.. might wanna change?

	kagomeshuko:	Dec 14th, 2009 at 20:02 GMT	1 point
	Good quiz. I only knew five. I, too, have a Christmas game. I know I'm not supposed to advertise in comments, but how else do I get the word to the sporcle community being that my online friends don't play sporcle? Please, come play, comment, rate, nominate if you think it is good. http://www.sporcle.com/games/kagomeshuko/christmascarolinitials Thanks so much!

	Ich spreche Deutsch! Fröhliche Weihnachten, und ein Fröhliches Neues Jahr, auch!

	the dutch one is wrong it's:zalig kerstfeest not kerstfeast

	dominiquef:	May 2nd, 2010 at 17:55 GMT	1 point
	Prettige Kerstdagen is... what?

	QuintFan:	Jul 16th, 2010 at 22:44 GMT	0 points
	Yeah come on, why don't you accept "Felice natale" for Italian. I know my family says that, and I'm fluent in Italian myself. And your spelling is too picky, I knew the German but was one letter off. Too obscure.

	halinka:	Aug 17th, 2010 at 20:35 GMT	1 point
	"slovakin" is not the correct form. it should be just "slovak". anywayz, nice quiz.

	halinka:	Aug 17th, 2010 at 20:36 GMT	1 point
	oh and Sretan Bozic is wrong too... what is that, polish?

	PiiXiiE:	Nov 27th, 2010 at 21:36 GMT	1 point
	Italian should be "Buon Natale" Shouldn't "Froelich Weihnachten" be acceptable for German?
