Merry Chrismas in different languages

I got this from the Net. Seems there are a few sites that have this same list, and I don't know which is the originator (so which to say is the source). but the list is pretty cool.

Note - Some, like the Japanese one, are wishing both a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

You can hear audio clips of many of these at http://www.holidays.net/christmas/voices.htm.
