Merii Kurisumasu

There is no Japanese word to say Merry Christmas. Therefore people simply use the English spelled "Merii Kurisumasu".
If you follow the link and listen to the pronunciation, you will hear "Merry Christmas", slightly twisted with the Japanese accent.
If you pay attention you really hear Merry Christmas. If you don't, you'll feel like me very often at work with some of my new colleagues. I know they speak English, but I am not yet fully familiarized with the accent and my brain interprets it differently.

And while we are on the topic, listen to all the classics in Japanese :)
