Christmas is one of the warmest and most soulful holidays, which traditionally is not complete without gifts. Many of us are especially pleased with non-standard congratulations. Therefore, congratulations on Christmas in English will be a pleasant surprise for your colleagues or loved ones.
Instructions
Step 1
What kind of congratulation will be in English depends on who you are going to congratulate. Are you preparing a solemn speech for an unfamiliar but respected person (for example, for your boss or a colleague)? Or do you want to surprise your loved ones with congratulations in a foreign language: family members or friends? Use the information provided on the Internet. To do this, type in the appropriate query in the search bar (Merry Christmas in English). Select a few of the presented foreign poems (phrases), but before that, be sure to read their translation. As a congratulation, choose the poem that you think will be most appropriate. For example, for a colleague at work, the following lines are quite suitable: May the Love, Peace, and Joy of Christmas be yours always (May love, peace, and the joy of Christmas always be with you).
Step 2
If you are going to congratulate a friend, this blank verse is quite suitable: Sending the warmest Christmas wishesto you and your family. May God shower his choicest blessings on you and your family this Christmas! (I send my warmest Christmas wishes to you and your family. Let God pour out His blessings on you and your family this Christmas!)
Step 3
If the translation of the English-language congratulations is not provided on the site, find out the content of the lines using a dictionary (for example, an electronic dictionary "multitran"), or choose your poem among those whose translation is placed next to it.
Step 4
If the person you are going to wish Merry Christmas is a native English speaker, go for prose. A few simple, but at the same time meaningful phrases in this case will be much more appropriate. In order to have plenty to choose from, type in the appropriate query in the search bar and look for the very words that you would like to say. When choosing the desired congratulation phrase, also pay attention to its translation. Unfortunately, the websites either do not provide it, or they host an incorrect version. In this case, in order to wish exactly what you wanted and not remain incomprehensible at the same time, seek help from a specialist who speaks English and knows all the socio-cultural features of wishes and congratulations in this language.
Step 5
Write your congratulatory text in Russian and give it to the translator (most likely, you will need to pay for this). So you will spend part of your savings, but do not "blow your face in the mud" in front of a native speaker. Plus, Christmas is only celebrated once a year!
