Meaning: best wishes for the holiday. More on the greeting. Rewrite 1: wishing you the most wonderful time of the year Rewrite 2: wishing you many cheerful holiday moments Rewrite 3: here's hoping your holiday is full of cherished memories Rewrite 4: may your holiday stocking be full of wonderful surprises Rewrite 5: may all that you desire come true this joyous holiday
Comment: More to the point, however, it may be more sincere to say "Merry Christmas!", "Happy Hanukah!", or "Happy Kwanzaa!" if that's what you really mean. And so, I wish you the merriest of Christmases, the most happy of Hanukahs, and the most splendid of Kwanzaas.
