How do you say Merry Christmas in your language?
I will start with the languages I know:
English: Merry Christmas!
Spanish: Feliz Navidad!
French: Joeux Noel!
Russian: 
Please add your language to the list!

Priecîgus Ziemassvçtkus!
That's Latvian, with the Ziemassvçtki standing for "winterfest" and not being a Christian thing, having been celebrated by Pagan Latvians, too.

That's the Catholic version (lit: Blessed Christmas). Us ordinary people just say :"Gelukkig kerstfeest" or "Prettige kerstdagen".

In Turkish:
Mutlu Noeller! (Merry Christmas)
In Turkish, many concepts about Christianity are from the Orthodox terminology (like Easter is 'paskalya' from Greek 'paskha') but christmas is obviously from French, somehow: Noel (plural in Turkish: Noeller)
Mutlu Yillar! (Happy New Year)
(Mutlu: Happy. Yil: Year. Yillar:Years)
