Since no one's really going to be reading this today, I thought I'd forego my usual long, pedantic tale of how Christmas relates to Roman times (according to Pope Benedict XVI, the Bishop of Rome, there is no connection between Rome and Christmas).
Instead, I thought I'd shoot you with a few key phrases that you might need, should you find yourself dropping the subjunctive later in the afternoon:
Pronounced: "Fay-leex dee-ace Nah-tee-wee-tah-teese!"
And don't forget to thank the one who brought you all the goodies:
Pronounced: "Pah-tair dee-aye Krees-tee nah-tah-lame"
Plus, there's this timeless classic:
Pronounced: "Too-oom oh-cue-loom trans-fee-gare-ace, pahr-wyoo-lay"
Felix dies Nativitatis, omnes! Have a safe and Merry Christmas!

Felix dies Nativitatis, omnes! (Please don't correct my potential grammatical error...it's Christmas!)
Merry Christmas to you!
Thanks for the short & sweet latin lesson this fine morning.
@ Elliot: The only potential grammatical error was that it should be italicized, but only because it's a foreign language. Silly English and its rules.
@ Carol: I figured short and sweet would do the trick this morning (that's what she said!)
Merry Christmas! :D That may have been your shortest post ever!
Merry Christmas.
What's the Latin translation for "Oh fuuuuuuuuudge..."?
Hope you had a happy holiday and no one shot their eye out. Cause that would suck. Especially at Christmas.

And a lucky Christmas to you too!
What can I say, my html skills are weak.
Happy Boxing Day!
