I kicked off this series of articles a few months ago with Christmas Greetings in French and I have to confess that I completely forgot about it.  So installment number two is Christmas Greetings in German.   It is common for companies to print christmas wishes in different languages if they have overseas customers but sometimes a company has a base in just two countries so their christmas wishes reflect just two languages.  So, we have expanded on the simple ‘merry christmas’ translations with a few more phrases that may be of interest.

  Ein frohes Fest! – Frohe Festtage!
  A joyous holiday! – Season’s Greetings!/Happy Holidays!

  Frohe Weihnachten! – Frohes Weihnachtsfest!
