I grew up in multi-cultural and multi-language background. It amazes me when I found out how many languages spoken in this world! Over 6,000 languages! Can you imagine that?

If you go to Google to find how these people say “Merry Christmas and Happy New Year” in any langagues, you will see people say it in so many different ways!

In thise special season, I hope your Christmas will be filled with joy, love, peace and hope from God and may His favor and goodness be yours in this coming New Year!

This is how I say it in languages that I can understand (from the most I can speak & understand to the least):

Slamat Natal deng Taong Baru (Manadonese)

Selamat Hari Natal dan Tahun Baru (Indonesian)

Selamet Hari Natal ame Tahun Baru ye (Betawi)

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! (English)

Merry Christmas lan Sugeng Warsa Enggal (Javanese)

圣诞快乐，新年快乐
Shèngdàn kuàilè, Xīnniàn kuàilè (Mandarin)

Feliz Navidad y Feliz Año Nuevo (Spanish)
