[生活美語] Merry Christmas! 大家聖誕快樂！你能相信已經是平安夜了嗎？
又過了一年，我們的FB追蹤人數已經達到50,000人了！
為了感謝各位多年來的支持，我準備了一些聖誕小禮物 🙂
在影片中會看到一些我從加拿大帶回來的禮物，有興趣獲得禮物的人都可以按個讚和在評論區留下在影片中出現的任何一句聖誕問候 (Christmas greeting)。
之後我將舉行抽籤並挑選出6名獲獎者。結果會在聖誕節宣布，獲獎者將收到一封臉書私訊要求提供郵寄地址(最靠近的7-11)。請注意，得獎者必須居住在台灣，這樣我才能寄禮物過去。
聖誕快樂，感謝各位多年來的鼓勵和支持！

Merry Christmas, everyone! Can you believe it’s Christmas Eve already?!
Another year has passed us by and our fanpage has now reached 50,000 followers! To show my gratitude for your support throughout the years, I have some Christmas gifts for you!
In the video you will see some gifts I brought back from Canada. Anyone who is interested in getting a gift can leave a Christmas greeting from the video in the comments below.
I will then hold a drawing and pick out six winners. The results will be announced on Christmas Day and those who win a gift will receive a confirmation FB message asking for a mailing address (the closest 7-11). However, you must reside in Taiwan for me to send the gift to you.
Merry Christmas and thank you for your encouragements and support throughout the years!

補充說明:
Is "Merry Christmas" an appropriate greeting? You decide:
The idea of a “War on Christmas” has turned things like holiday greetings and decorations into potentially divisive political statements. People who believe that Christmas is under attack point to inclusive phrases like “Happy Holidays” as (liberal) insults to Christianity.
「聖誕之戰」這個概念已經把節日問候和裝飾之類的事情變成了製造潛在分裂的政治宣言。感到聖誕節正遭受攻擊的人認為「節日快樂」(Happy Holidays)等更具包容性的短語是（自由主義者）對基督教的侮辱。

Some say "Happy Holidays" is a more neutral greeting. However, “holiday” is a religious word, after all, derived from the Old English word for “holy day.” Plus, “Happy Holidays” may indicate the entire Advent period, suggesting a more devout reverence for the season than “Merry Christmas.”
有人說「Happy Holidays」是比較沒有爭議的祝賀，但是「Holiday」這個單詞源於古英語單詞「Holy Day」。此外，「Happy Holidays」可能涵蓋整個將臨期（Advent），片語的含義比起「Merry Christmas」更有宗教意味 。
