Hello, teachers. Merry Christmas!!
I've got a birthday card and a Christmas card whose messages seem strange to me.
1. "Happy birthday! Wish the days which shine."
2. "I wish you have a merry Christmas!"
I think 1. would be better if it was "(I) wish you the shiny days." and 2. would be better if it was "I wish you a merry Christmas! "
What do you think?
With best regards,
Junkomama |

Sentence 1 is incredibly awkward. I don't even know what it is trying to say. Sentence 2 is slightly awkward, but "I wish you a Merry Christmas" is good. Also, you could say "I hope you have a Merry Christmas." |
