How to Say Merry Christmas in Icelandic

The classic greeting is Gleðileg jól! (Merry Christmas!), pronounced roughly "GLEH-thih-lek yowl" — the letter ð sounds like the soft "th" in "the". A shorter alternative is Gleðileg hátíð! (Happy holidays!), and the full festive wish is Gleðileg jól og farsælt nýtt ár! (Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!).
