Happy Christmas vs Merry Christmas
I disagree with the statement that (a) "Happy Christmas" is more popular in Ireland and (b) that "Merry Christmas" is American, being apparently older than the US. I believe "Merry" is much more popular than "Happy" but unless a source can be found the sentence should just be removed.. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.172.226.95 (talk) 04:19, 7 November 2017 (UTC)

First sentence
Not sure if it is just me, but the bolded Christmas in Ireland seems to imply a standalone festivity instead of the article's actual topic, which is how people celebrate Christmas (and related festivities) in Ireland (MOS:AVOIDBOLD). I also find it unnecessary to explain what Christmas is, though that might be more of my own preference. I considered replacing it myself but am not sure what to replace it with. Any ideas or is the current one good?  Username 6892  16:30, 26 April 2023 (UTC)
