Yeah...French one could be something along the lines of "Joyeux Noël"...or "Joyeuses F�tes" if you prefer.

And CHINESE =D 聖誕快樂! Well.."Jia Jie U Kwai" is closer to Happy Holidays though (假節愉快), while mine is "Merry Christmas".

To add to the festive good wishes: Each year, I look to our students to design my New Year's greeting. Last year's artist was none other than MacInsider's own Chad Fullerton (I still love the card within a card concept). This year's artist is SIMON ORPANA, a first year Ph.D. student in the Department of English and Cultural Studies. Best wishes for a happy and peaceful new year to everyone from the School of Graduate Studies!

Feliz Navidad is actually Merry Christmas (literally Happy Nativity); there isn't a direct phrase that can be translated to Happy Holidays..
