There Are Lots of Ways to Say Merry Christmas

In the U.S. Census Bureau latest report, it shows we continue to be a nation of immigrants who come to this country speaking many different languages.

To help capture the spirit of our heritage -- and perhaps make a new co-worker -- or new neighbor feel a little more welcome, we've decided to put together a few ways to spread the cheery holiday greeting.

And if you've got another "Merry Christmas" greeting you'd like to add, we want you to share it with us -- and everyone reading this.

It's easy. Just use the comment box below. Of course, if you just want to say it the old fashioned way -- that's OK too.

• Feliz Navidad - Spanish
• Frohliche Weihnachten - German
• Joyeux Noel - French
• Maligayang Pasko - Filipino
• Linksmu Kaledu - Lithuanian
• Buon Natale - Italian
• God Jul - Norweigian
• Feliz Natal - Portuguese

(Our apologies for leaving out the accent marks)

Whatever way you say it, Patch is our wishes for the happiest of holidays. No matter how you celebrate, may you find peace and joy with family and friends.

And for those of you who chose to reach out to others on this special holiday by volunteering in the community, our hats are off to you for your generosity.

Because this season is all about giving -- and giving the gift of your time is one of the most precious -- and greatest blessings of all.
