Season's greetings to all!
I have a few questions about season's greetings. If my memory serves me right, many years ago, some Westerners who are German and other Europeans told me they didn't say 'Merry Christmas' and 'Happy New Year' to each other ahead of the days, otherwise it would bring bad luck.
Just now I happened to watch a video in which a French pianoist whose name is Richard Clayderman says 'Merry Christmas and Happy New Year in advance' something like that in French to his Chinese audience on a China-based video sharing website where he has his account. I don't speak French, but got the message from the translation on the subtitle. The video has been published on Dec. 23. We don't have such taboos I mentioned above. Do the French not have such taboos either?
A few days ago, I wrote to an American wishing she has a great vacation there. Is it okay? I didn't mention about the specific holidays to her.
Thank you!
