1) Technically this post does not teach the reader “how to say Merry Christmas in 30 languages”, but rather “how to write Merry Christmas in 30 languages”. Where are the links to audio of native speakers saying the phrase?
2) The Latin entry is “Merry Christmas and Happy New Year”

dont you perefer this az a (PURE) persian translation for this concept?
