Answer #1

Because it just doesn’t sound right. It’s like calling a duck a platypus.

Answer #2

Runs against customs that Americans oh so love to cling onto, if not, their world will crumble. God forbid that.

Answer #3

The U.S.A. is overrated…-.-

Answer #4

It just dosen’t sound right I guess, because it does sound wierd.

Answer #5

Erm, merry christmas was a phrase popularized after A Christmas Carol written by the ENGLISH author Charles Dic.kens…

Answer #6

Perhaps from the Anglo-Saxon language influence that is particular to the ‘New World’?

As to “The U.S.A. is overrated…-.-“ that is my (and many others opinion)- as they say in sports, “You can’t be number one forever”…

Answer #7

Golly Good answer !!

Answer #8

:D Well Said my friend!

Answer #9

Quite a lot of people I know say Happy Christmas as many as people say Merry Christmas. Christmas is about being merry with the old wine and so that’s also where it has come from.
