I doubt very much that the PC rubbish has hit Kemr, so I think "Happy
Holidays" is out.  "Ffelig nadalig" seems to go for the Comro; the Kerno
who don't play by the book with any great frequency, have "feleck
natiwtats".  The rather stuffier form 'festeccos dies nataleccos' is only
found at church, where the priests by dint of Education are compelled to
use big words at every turn.

Not corny at all, Sally.
