Merry Christmas and a happy New Year
#1
Hi,

I have a question please for the Latin scholars amongst you. How would I write, or its nearest equivalent, "Merry Xmas and a happy New Year" in Latin? Preferably in Roman Latin, rather than the later version, but either would be fine.

From what little I do know on the matter, I gather there has been a festival at the end of December long before the Christmas era, perhaps linked to the shortest day. What did the Romans call that?

Thanks in advance if anyone can help,

Andrew
