In AmE, the prevalent Christmas greeting is "Merry Christmas", which is the traditional English Christmas greeting, famously found in the English Christmas carol "We Wish You a Merry Christmas," and which appears several times in Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol". In BrE,"Happy Christmas" is a common alternative to "Merry Christmas". Both BrE and AmE use the expression "I couldn't care less" to mean the speaker does not care at all. Some Americans use "I could care less" to mean the same thing. This variant is frequently derided as sloppy, as the literal meaning of the words is that the speaker

in 1843, Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" was published, during the mid Victorian revival of the holiday. The word "merry" was then beginning to take on its current meaning of "jovial, cheerful, jolly and outgoing." ""Merry Christmas"" in this new context figured prominently in "A Christmas Carol". The cynical Ebenezer Scrooge rudely deflects the friendly greeting: "If I could work my will … every idiot who goes about with 'merry Christmas' on his lips should be boiled with his own pudding." After the visit from the ghosts of Christmas effects his transformation, Scrooge exclaims; "I am as merry as a

He felt that "Merry Christmas II You" was not a sequel, or a remake, but rather an attempt at rewinding time on Carey's part. Rich Juzwiak of "The Village Voice" was critical of "Merry Christmas II You".
