Holiday Greetings in Various Languages

Here are the languages cobbled together in some cases to wish holiday greetings. Translate them to see if any other countries have a war on (gasp!) Saturnalia. I mean Christmas, which was, of course, nowhere near the Jesus's birthdate. Do you think shepherd's watch their flocks at night during spring lambing. Sheesh. How about somebody actually figuring out the historical Jesus was born in March or April.
