This old fashioned word for ‘happy’ is popular in December when people say, ‘Merry Christmas.’ To be merry is to be happy, especially in a fun, festive way. Parties and celebrations are merry, and so are the fun people who attend them.
To be merry is to be happy and ready to frolic. A group of people laughing as they walk down the street is a merry gang. Anything merry is festive, often involving games, celebrations and parties.
A merry-go-round makes kids happy as it spins them around. Smiling and laughing are signs of being merry. If you go along your merry way, you walk away happily, maybe even dancing.
Festive wishes are two things. Firstly, it is a choice triggered by the occasion: a choice to be happy. Secondly, it is a wish for others to be happy, too! Festivals are about collective happiness.
For everyone to be merry, we must share what we have with the ones who have little or none. We can share love, concern and little gifts that we can afford to give. The biggest gift is to spare and share our time.
Sharing is not just about giving, it is also about receiving. Being merry, is about being together and sharing joy. That is the spirit of Christmas and every festival that seeks to bring people together in the happiness loop.
May everyone be merry and full of cheer
May the festival bring us closer and near!
