This pamphlet tells how Fr. Lord, when he was a young seminarian, decided “Merry Christmas” had a frivolous sound, so he wished his friends instead “A Happy and a Holy Christmas!” Later in life, with more maturity, Father explains why “Merry Christmas” is, in fact, the perfect expression. A very interesting history is given, even starting with the birth of our Lord and throughout the ages. There are many practical ideas in this small pamphlet. “The holy are happy, and the happy are merry.” Father concludes, “Mankind is rightly merry. Christ has made it so.”
