Merry Christmas/Season's Greetings - in 38+ dialects/languages

Five years ago, somebody at Sun started an email thread about how the different forms of this season's greetings are said in different languages. This is what we came up with.

If you want to add, correct, or translate something, please leave it as a comment and I will update the list.

Updates:

• Added translation to the French greeting (courtesy of my daughter).
  
• Corrected/added/translated German (courtesy of Alex Gorbachev).
• This post was accepted to Darren Rowse's ProBlogger Group Writing Project. This, in turn, generated several links to this post, and I'm happy to see that it made it to someone's favorite picks.
  
• Added/corrected Russian (courtesy of Alex Gorbachev).
• Added Oracle (courtesy of Alex Gorbachev).
• I'm submitting this post to Darren Rowse's ProBlogger Group Writing Project.
  
• Changed all references to 2002 to 2007. I purposely didn't do this initially because I was not sure if some of the non-translated greetings mentioned the year in words, as in: two thousand and two instead of 2002. If somebody wrote "two thousand two" in Mandarin, I wouldn't catch it. :)
• Added Russian and Latvian (courtesy of Edgar).
  

So with that, here's a Merry Christmas / Happy Holidays / Season's Greetings to you!
