I say "Have a good/nice holiday". I can't get into "Happy Chusok". It's about honoring dead ancestors, right????  |

Ok, "go work hard at honoring your dead ancestors"??
But it is a harvest festival as well, is it not? |

It is about ancestors but also about the harvest and family.
Happy Chusok is fine.
Honouring your ancestors does not have to be a sombre event. |

추석 is just like Thanksgiving in the U.S. (추 means autumn and 석 means night.) It IS a harvest festival so you can say "Happy 추석." Honoring the dead is only part of the tradition.
I'd say, "추석 잘 보내세요." ("Choo Suhk Jahl Boh Neh Seh Yuh.") or
"즐거운 추석 되세요." ("Jeul Guh Woon Choo Suhk Dweh Seh Yuh.") |
