When you told the dog to stop fanny smelling…. That’s also a different meaning to us brits 😂

As a Brit, I would consider a "test" to be more informal, not something that counts to our final results, whereas an exam contributes to the final result of the year or a qualification.

So I had one of my US counter parts advise me that I didn't use English properly. My argument/explanation to him was simple. I asked him what nationality he was, he replied American, and I asked him what language he spoke and he replied English. I then asked him what nationality I was, he said English, and what language I speak, he replied English. He then went 'Oooh' 🤣

When you said to one of your dogs to stop "fanny sniffing" you'll be shocked to know what that means in the UK. 😂

As an Englishman from the North East I can say that the way he says 80% of these things is different depending where your from in the uk and your accent etc

It IS 'zed' not 'zee' 'zed' was used sometimes in America too up until the 1940s, which can be heard in various 1930s films. The alphabet song at the turn of the 19th century started the change, just so zee would rhyme with me. This then spread quickly due to its use Teaching very young children in schools. Zee is only said in America, it is zed in Australia, uk, New Zealand, most if Canada, India, Ireland etc etc

With the greatest of respect, as a Brit I have to say "It's OUR language". English... it speaks for itself. So how we say things is the correct way, given we were speaking the language before America even existed as the Country we know now.

I lived in the UK for 55 years and never heard anyone say Happy Christmas, It has always been as the Christmas Carol says We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New year.

We say Merry Christmas in the North of England, which is correct, This man is wrong.

The budgerigar is native to Australia, parakeet is the collective name to 115 different species of small parrot. So, the parrot pictured is specifically a budgerigar.

You have to remember that Britain is an island with 4 different countries in it and all have their own ways of saying things.

I don't say 'Happy Christmas" always 'Merry Christmas'. I think 'Happy' has come into English usage in the last 20 odd years (I'm 65!) Love all your videos, keep 'em coming. UK 🇬🇧

Budgerigar is the Australian Aboriginal word. They're native to Australia, but in the wild are exclusively green and white. So the actual name of these beautiful little birds that you know as parakeets is budgerigars or budgies, which is what they're called here in their homeland Oz(tralia) 🦘🪃 and also in the UK.

He went full on Bristol when he got to Budgie, loved it.

Rounders was invented in the 1500's in England, you hit a small leather ball with a bat and score runs by running around 4 bases on a field. The unified rules were established in 1884 when it was called Base-Ball. The name was changed to Rounders in England, while other variations of the game played elsewhere retained the name baseball. Rounders and its rules is the origin of baseball played in America.

In the UK when I started school, we were 5, and it was what was called the INFANTS. We did two years there, and then, at aged 7, went up to the JUNIORS. We did four years in there, and at 11, we went up to our SECONDARY schools. Where we did five years, and most of us, when we left school, and was sent out into the world, was just 16. But a few of us, went on to do higher exams, (A Levels), than we all sat at 16. These students, having already gone through 1-5 years of Secondary school, were now starting their SIXTH FORM. Which is why you still have people call this stage "Lower" and "Upper" SIXTH. My daughter went to what we call "Play School" or "Play Group," two months before her third birthday. This group was purely for playing and socialising with other children, for 2-3 mornings a week. (It also gave the parents a break!) When they were about to turn four, the children either go into another room for an hour, to start learning letters etc. Just the basic stuff, or, like my daughter did, at the start of the new school term, two months before her fourth birthday, she went to a different Nursery School, that was attached to what would become her INFANTS school. This Nursery school was an every day thing, but mornings only. But here they concentrated on getting them ready for school. My daughter went from being one of the youngest in her class, to one of the oldest, when several of her friends in the Nursery went up to the Infants in the January. The following September, two months before her fifth birthday, my daughter started her (R)eception class, even though she was nearly five, her BF was still only four and a half. The next September term was when Year 1 started. In Year 3 they go up to the Juniors, and are there until the end of term, July, of their Year 6. In the September term they go into Year 7, roughly aged about 11, and stay there until they are in Year 12 or 13. Whereas I, and everyone else, when we finished school at 16, we were left to our own devices. You were expected to do a training scheme, for two years, for next to nothing, £29.50 for a 40hr week! Or get a job off you're own back, or go on to college, which isn't the same as US colleges. Now students aren't allowed to leave school before they're 18, unless they have a permanent job, Apprenticeship, or a college placement,

It's worth bearing in mind that in the same way as accents vary wildly across the UK and even within the constituent nations that make it up, the words that we use also vary just as wildly. Possibly even more so. Quite a few of the words this video gives for use in the UK seem much more familiar from when I lived down in London than from back home in Scotland where I am again now, thankfully. And even then some of those are different here in Fife from those used when I lived in Dundee and that's only about 30 miles away.

Imagine telling a French guy how to say croissant. food for though when looking at English. I enjoy seeing the differences and similarities, keep up the fun videos guys

It always amazes me when Americans try and tell British people how to say things in British 😂

As a Brit, I nearly choked on my cola when JT said to the dog "stop fanny smelling!" 🤣🤣 It means something ENTIRELY different over here.

Five hundred years ago, 'garden' implied a place for growing food. When gardens began to be filled with flowers for pleasure they were called 'pleasure garden'. Nowadays, 'garden' in the UK implies a flowery place, so the food-filled garden is sometimes called a 'kitchen garden'. In houses with a small back area not used for a garden, it might be called 'back yard', especially in Northern England. 'Yard' is also used for industrial areas e.g. 'builder's yard'.

Hi JT and Anna! I just nearly wet myself from so much laughing!! I'll explain: JT just said (to one of the dogs, I hope!!) " Stop fanny smelling over there!!" The word Fanny means something VERY different here in the UK- you mean backside: we mean Front side..... If you get what I mean?! Thanks for that - made my day!!👍👍🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Jam is jellied preserve with fruit in it. The clear preserve can be jam or jelly here (UK). Your Jello is a brand name used for jelly. Like people here call a vacuum cleaner a Hoover.

Similar to Z being zed, I'm from Glasgow, Scotland and didn't know until recently that we were the only ones that say Jie instead of Jay

Zed over zee, zed comes from the Greek zeta which became zede in old french and then Zed in English some 500 years ago.

Jam typically has the seeds/fruit pulp still in it. We do, sometimes, refer to something as 'jelly' if it is strained (e.g. mint jelly/etc).

I've never heard of ball pool, in my region we also called it a ballpit. Maybe that's a regional thing?

Ive always known a yard to be a small enclosed space on a small property usually on the back

We also pronounce the word Route, as in a route to a destination, Root. We use both Property and Estate to refer to owned "real estate', but estate only really gets used in a formal setting like on a will of what's to happen with your things when you die. It's a document of what happens to your estate when you die. That's why someone who sells houses is called an estate agent. In general chat property or house are nearly always used instead. Pickle is the outcome from the process of pickling. You can pick anything, for example pickled onions. It's a Gherkin, which are often pickled. This seems to be a common thing in American English where you name all things in a group by the name of one specific item in that group. It seems confusing. I.E. Cookie. A biscuit is the group name for baked, crunchy, flat round snacks. A Cookie is just one type of biscuit. Also calling all fizzy drinks a Soda, seems confusing. We tent to just use the brand names to specify instantly the flavour we want. An invigilator is just someone who walks around an exam hall while the exam is underway, checking no one's cheating, providing help where they're aloud to and letting people go to the toilet if they put their hand up etc. It just means they don't need to be a qualified teacher. Happy Christmas & Merry Christmas get used interchangeably and as often as each other these days. We pronounce Chassis as Shassy because it's a French word

The thing about jam and jelly is we have what you call jelly, we call that jelly!? The difference being, Jam has all the pips and pulp, where Jelly is Jam that has been put through a Jelly bag, which stains out the pulp and pips. Like, blackcurrant Jelly, Apple Jelly. We use jelly to describe any clear jelly substances.

Proctor/ invigilator are the people that walk among people taking their exams to make sure nobody is cheating. ❤️🇬🇧

Rotisserie chicken is different from a roast chicken and they both exist. The picture looks like it us (under cooked) a roast chicken. A rotisserie chicken is one that is cooked on a spit...its rotated.

A bathrobe & dressing gown are two different things. A bathrobe robe is normally a fluffy towelling material, used when you get out of the bath or shower. A dressing gown is normally worn when getting out of bed before getting dressed properly and can be different materials such as silk

In Scotland we saw Janitor but most people would say Jannie for short.

We say happy Christmas and merry Christmas!also supermarket jobs we call them shelf fillers!So a few of them are slightly wrong !🇬🇧👍

I’m commenting before I watch this and just wanted to so you should come and experience the UK yourselves. Only because some of the videos to me as a UK Citizen doesn’t show the full story. Also ANNAS laugh cracks me very English like and JT ild like to go fishing with ya. YOU. YALL . Whichever was easiest 👍😁 and BTW WAY the UK IS THE BETTER COUNTRY LOL

Q29 is actually very different in Scotland. England and Wales would say Year 13 but in Scotland we'd say 6th Year or S6 because they're pupils in the sixth year of secondary school. We have Primary schools with years labelled as Primary 1 to Primary 7 (P1-P7), which are pupils from 5 years old to 11 years old, and Secondary school with years labelled as Secondary 1 to Secondary 6 (S1-S6), which are pupils from 12 years old to 17 years old. In Scotland, we also don't have Sixth Form because you can leave school at 16 years old (S4/S5) to go to college or get an apprenticeship. College is a further education facility that can be a stepping stone to university but college diplomas are stand alone qualifications from university degrees.

Brits also say Santa/Santa clause. We also say Father Christmas & Saint Nicholas. Some brits also say stocking the shelves or re-stocking.

we still have static caravan sites dotted all over the uk mostly near the coast but we have them

The term Estate Agent dates back to when you'd have one literally to look after the estate on your behalf. In the old days, if you wanted to sell a property, the estate agent would come in and smarten up the property, tidy the garden, etc. to get it into the best possible condition. That's why they charged, and still charge, a stiff percentage of the sale price (except they don't actually do any property care these days).

I remember when I started watching reaction that explained the differences between Britain and America how different the English and Scottish school system was. In Scotland certainly when I was in School you simply ad Primary School and then Secondary School which were called either a High School or an Academy. You were at Primary School for 7 years, then Secondary School for 6 years. The first two years of Secondary were doing most of of the subjects 3rd and 4th year you would choose 6 subjects to study more seriously. Though English and Maths and P.E./gym were core subjects. You would have to set exams in these classes called "Standard Grades" except gym. Once you got to 5th or 6th year You would pick your "Higher" subjects these would be the subjects and exam results that would get you into University. There were no longer core subjects, and if you got all the Highers you need for University in 5th year. You could do "Sixth Year Studies" Later called "Higher Still" in those subjects, or you do subjects that simply interested you. There was no social name for 5th or 6th Years. You just knew they were oldest students in the UK School. And the 6th Years got a room so they could hang out among themselves.

I’m from the UK and for proper major exams where we would get a certificate and qualification like GCSES or ALevels or something or even at university we have special people who are INVIGILATORS. Typically that is their only job. They must not be a teacher of us or anything. They walk around the room of the exam to make sure no one is cheating etc. then they pick up all the papers at the end.

I love both of your personalities. Anna's sense of humour for such. Thank you for your videos, we really do laugh along with you guys!

Budgies are the smallest species of parakeet. Their other name is Grass Parakeet.

In the UK, our school numbers are 1 ahead of yours. I was a Year 6 teacher (10-11 years) which is 5th Grade. Nursery and Reception (3-5 years) are often called EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage), then Year 1 (5-6), Year 2 (6-7), Year 3 (7-8) and so on. In England, Primary School is Years 1 - 6 (years 1 & 2 used to be called Infants and 3-6 were Juniors) and High School or Secondary School is Years 7 - 11. Years 12 and 13 used to be called Higher Education (college or 6th Form) and was optional until a few years ago. Now it's compulsory. Decades ago, high school years were referred to as Forms or Years - first form/first year, second form/second year and so on to fifth form/fifth year (Year 11), which is where 6th Form came from when referring to a type of education which is now Years 12 -13. Hope that makes sense!

Hope you Two get to visit the UK 🇬🇧. And get to Travel all over the UK and hear for yourself the full difference of accents, dialect and words actually used in Britain today. Its quite baffling.

he said that was a camper van, it can also be called a mobile home

Never heard anyone in the UK say "Ball Pool" we also say Ball Pit.

One thing worth mentioning is that the names of the school years can vary a lot in certain public (‘private’ in US terms) schools. For example ‘Shells, Removes (‘Rems’), Upper Middles (‘UMs’), Fourths, Fifths, Divisions (‘Divs’), Sixths’ is one system and ‘thirds, lower fourths, upper fourths, lower fifths, upper fifths, lower sixths, upper sixths’ is another system. Also ‘recess’ is often the official term used at such schools for what most people in Britain would call ‘break (time)’, so in that instance the American and British terms would be the same!

In regards to number 29, it works differently in Scotland and England - they go from Year 1 to 13, with maybe like an infant school being first couple of years, then junior school then senior school (or something to that effect), whereas here in Scotland it's much simpler - we go from Primary 1 to 7, which is up to around 10 years old, and then Secondary which is 1st to 6th Year, which is up to Age 18 approximately. You can leave in 4th Year though, once you turn 16.

Burst out laughing at the “fanny” moment 😂😂😂

Great reaction, guys. Seem like you had a lot of fun with this one. Cute doggy too.

We also have a word for kindergarten, it's called reception in England, then it's year 1. Reception is usually children ages 4-5 and before that we can send them to nursery school from 3-5 max

JT here's a word we us differently in the UK FANNY is a widely accepted word for vagina in the UK so when you tell the dog no to sniff the FANNY my 12 year old self kicks in🤣great video guys keep it up 😛

for a channel that is only 2 months old i love you guys please keep making vids like this you are brilliant

Love JT's explanation of the jam/jelly/jello thing...made me laugh! 😄

We would say merry Christmas and Santa Clause as well, a lot of the words that you would say are the same over here. I suppose it depends on what part of the country he is from. The Fall was originally called the Fael in Old English, the name Autumn became more popular in the 1600s, in France it is called Autompne. We advance the clocks by 1 hour in March and back one hour at the end of October ( this is called British Summertime) it’s done to make the best use of daylight hours so as a reminder of which way the clocks move we say Spring forward and Fall back. The original name used for Autumn was Harvest.

Given it's English, the Brits are saying it correctly as English originated in Britain/Engerland. Jam is with fruity bits in it, our bread spread without fruity bits is jelly. A British Camp Ground would be full of Tents, not Caravans, if it's full of Caravans, it's a Caravan Park. Back when I was in Secondary School (decades ago) it was 1st year, 2nd Year, 3rd Year, 4th Year, 5th Year and 6th Year. Merry is a state of being inebriated.

In the UK, if we don't use our garden for growing vegetables and it was mainly grass, we would call it the 'lawn'. If the lawn is surrounded by flowers, that would be the 'flower bed'. If we do grow vegetables, that would be a ‘vegetable patch’ - especially if only part of the garden was for growing vegetables. Sometimes half the garden will be lawn, the other half a vegetable patch (or veg patch). If we have none of these but the rear and/or front of our house is just concrete or paving slabs we would call that a back yard (or front yard). Oh, and when you told your dog off for sniffing their 'fanny'. In the UK, fanny means something quite different, and, a bit rude.

😅🤣😂 hiya Anna & JT .. only recently ( like yesterday ) stumbled across ur videos and OMG ya making me laugh the pair of ya's ! Superb videos seriously funny .. Keep em coming ! 😂🤣😅

The education thing: Test and Exam are both used in the UK. A test is what's done at the end of a term, that tests you on what you learned in that term. Then a week off, then back for the next term. After 6-8 weeks, it's another test on what you learned in that term, then a week off. Etc. An Exam, is what we call our GCSE's and A Levels. These are what you do at the end of your schooling, before you leave to either go to college or University or get a job etc. So basically Test is the mini tests between terms. Exams are the big important ones before you leave school. Yeah #29 is different between England and Scotland. I went to school in Scotland, and we had Primary 1-7, and then went to secondary school, which was 1st year to 6th year, with the 6th year students called Prefects. School in the UK is aged differently as well. I started at 3, and did my final exams at 14, left school at 15, hung around for a little while before getting a full time job at 16. Other kids in my year were older than me but they were the same. Started at around 4-5, exams at 15-16, then left school. I think in the US you guys don't start school until you're 6 or 7? Leave around the age of 18-19? 18-19 in the UK, most people have been working full time for years or have been in college and uni for years by that age.

As far as I know, Americans are the only English speaking country I know off that call Zed, Zee. I think even Canadians say Zed.

Loved this one. Anna you have the best laugh!

In the UK a YARD is a hardstanding area outside a factory that trucks get loaded and unloaded on. Estate Agents comes from when someone would be responsible for a landed estate. In Scotland we used to call the caretaker a janitor. When I was at senior school (England 1970s) we just had 1st year, 2nd year etc up to 6th form. Dressing gown or HOUSECOAT. Z = ZED.

Year 13 for me was called 5th and 6th Year no idea how it is now it's weird.

Hey guys, as a Turkish citizen, unfortunately you don't have the real yoghurt in the world. It's originated in Turkey and the taste is a little bit sour and salty. Yours is more watery and sugary i think. We have a drink called "Ayran" which we put water and salt to the yoghurt and mix it. In Turkish we have a letter "Ğ" its called a "Soft g" its actully not spelled "Yoghurt", its "Yoğurt "Soft g" is silent. :)

From England and we say Merry Christmas

My schools used both test and exam. Test was for the shorter ones you do in classroom and didn't count towards grades etc where exams where the big main ones that your final grade came from.

Brits aren't saying it wrong, after all, its our language.

Hi JT and Anna Love all your video's. U guys are awesome and u rule!🤘🏻

No JT, your jello is our jelly.....👀🤦🏻‍♂️🤣🤣🤣💜

1st ,edit,,, also there caravans in the uk a camper is a small Winnebago, we have drinking yogurt hear in the uk

Rounders is our version of baseball, also baseball was invented in the UK. ⚾ I nearly choked on my water when you said to charleigh stop fanny smelling over there, as the word Fanny in the UK is a slang term for a vagina lol.😂😂 When you're fired, you get your P45 back, so she you get a new job, you had your P45 to your new boss.

I'm Scottish and for me i would suggest that... 5. Jelly. (Jam has fruit pieces in it, Jelly is made from the juice of the fruit). 11. Ball Pit. 12. Janny or Janitor. 13. Gym 17. Camp Site. (Caravan park is where stationary caravans are). 20. Pitcher/Jug, completely interchangeable. 22. Yoghurt (just as the American lassie said) 23. Submit. You submit your project. 26. Tests are less formal, more for fun. Exams are what would count towards your final grade. 29. In Scotland you'd have - Primary 1,2,3,4,5,6,7. You'd then go to High School and have 1st year,2nd year, 3rd year, 4th year, 5th year, 6th year. 32. Merry Christmas. Always Merry Christmas. Anyone saying Happy Christmas is wrong!! 33. Bathrobe is something you'd put on after a bath or shower, a Dressing Gown would be something you might wear once you have your pj's on to relax for the evening. 34. Stocking shelves, though if this was your job, you'd be called a shelf stacker. 38. Main Street or High Street. Some towns or cities have both. High Street tends to lead uphill (oddly enough). 44. Shows/ Programmes. Used interchangeably.

actually when we put on a robe in UK after the bath/shower, it is a bathrobe, a dressing gown is a robe that we wear with our pyjamas

The caravan one is weird, we call it a caravan park if it has static caravans and mobile home ones where you take off the tow bar and leave them there permanently, and a campsite if it’s like a holiday place where you take a camper van or touring caravan for like a week holiday. There’s like two types of static caravan though, there’s the one where it stays in one place all the time but it’s used for holidays, and there’s like more mobile home ones where you put a skirting around the bottom so you can’t see under it and people live in them.

Just a little bit of US/UK trivia: Both the US and the UK have a comic strip known as “Dennis the Menace”. Both strips were released on March 12th, 1951, with absolutely no knowledge of each other and both of the titular characters own a dog.

About the Budgerigar (or affectionately called a Budgie). Slang term: Budgie Smuggler -- form-fitting, package-revealing Speedo swimsuit. Because if you're showing off your goods 'down there', you are obviously trying to smuggle a Budgie. You're welcome!

The school years thing is interesting, in the US, it seems kids start school aged 5, in Kindergarten, then 4 years per elementary, middle and high schools. In the UK, 15 hours/week of free preschool are offered from age 3, then you start school proper age 4, in 'reception' which, as the name suggests, is about preparing children for education, so it is still often fairly focused on learning through play, but there are lessons in maths, literacy etc. Then, age 5 you are in Year 1. Primary schools are typically Reception to Year 6 (4-11 years old) Then, Secondary is Year 7 to Year 11 (11-16 yo). Full-time education or training is compulsory to age 18, so usually you enter Sixth form or College, which is 2 years long (16-18), which may be in the same school as your Secondary. The education system is fairly convoluted in the UK when looking at fine details, but we start sooner than in the US, and the age groups are a lot broader per school. I personally only went to two schools between 4-18, as my Sixth form was the default continuation from Year 11. Also on the Invigilator thing, we have lots of exams in the UK. I've had annual exams 7 years in a row now (university), and all have been invigilated, as every time, the entire cohort sits the exam simultaneously (sometimes 250 people in the Exam hall) all over the country, as our exams are standardised and identical across the country (barring exam board differences) With such large amounts of students in one place, invigilators are needed to ensure the rules are being followed i.e. no cheating, and to hand out stationery or help if an exam question is wrong etc.

Father Christmas is not universal in the UK. There are areas (such as North East England) where Santa Claus is the traditional terminology (rather than an Americanisation)

A (back)yard in Britain will usually be an outside space with a hard standing and be a utilitarian area rather than a place for plants/grass.

Depending on the material Terry Towelling, bathrobes, any other materials dressing gown. You can also have housecoat or lounger.

14:02 we would most definitely not say “fanny smelling” over here…. that’s something else entirely 😂😂

5:50. If it is just mobile camper vans it is called a caravan park. (caravan meaning, a group of people traveling together in one long line... travelers originally). If you use tents or you can have both vans and tents, it is called a camp site. I think when you talk about trailer parks, you are talking about what we call static homes.

13:55 😂😂😂 that's another language difference right there. That made me laugh so hard! 'Fanny' means butt over there, but here in the UK its another word for a lady's private parts 😂😂😂😂😂

It's neither a bathrobe nor a dressing gown. It's a house-coat. Robes and gowns don't generally have pockets (on the outside).

In the UK, a Proctor is someone who records a trial in the courtroom.

My job in Scotland was called shelf stacker and also changing barcodes for items

We have thicker Yoghurt, typically Greek or Turkish, the medium is eaten with a spoon, but we also have a mix of Yoghurt and milk which can be drunk through a straw.

🤣🤣🤣 Naughty click bait title. You'll be giving some Brits a heart attack 🤣🤣🤣

In Scotland we do Nursery, Primary school and secondary school. Primary takes you from age 4 or 5 in Primary One to age 11 or 12 in Primary 7. The secondary school classes are first year to sixth year. P45s are not used as a means of sacking someone as this implies. It's a document you receive when employment ends for any reason (eg temporary contract). It's to keep your records up to date with the Inland Revenue who deal with taxes, and to use as proof that the employment has ended if you are having to claim unemployment benefits.

I acytually agree with you on the stocking/stacking thing, I think you got that one right

Over here an area with plants, especially a lawn is a garden. A paved or concrete area, normally at the back of the house is a yard but if the paved area is part of the garden its a patio.

Despite different ways of saying a word or it’s meaning the English language evolved over 1,000 in England. How ever you use words or say them you cannot be an arbiter of the correct way. You use a dialect of English not the received version. You would not say a person from Montreal has the right to say how the French language should be used only how they use it.

No 32 is BS guys. As a Brit in his early 50s I (& all my family and friends) have always said Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 🤔

We do stock shelves in the UK. Nobody says stacking shelves. This guy has clearly never worked in retail.

Estate means the house and land i.e. gardens or yards (yard = piece of land that is attached to the house that is fully paved). Also an estate can mean the property and money left by someone who has died. The next of kin would inherit their estate if there is no will or their estate could be split between multiple people or someone who is not their next of kin if there is a will.

year 10 is 15 years old ish...In scotland we start with Primary 1 when your 4/5 you have 7 years in primary school you leave primary to go to your secindary/high school at 11/12 defpends on when your bithday is. and you are there for 6 years until 17/18 when you then go onto to college/uni or start your adult life.

From the UK. Its Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Shelf stackers/stacking are people/action that stack boxes in shops and warehouses..

Happy Christmas is a new and annoying greeting to me. Born in England in 57 and it has always been Merry Christmas to me. Where Happy Christmas came from, I haven't a clue.
