Re: Mary Christmas

If any of those sending these messages think “Merry Christmas” (in aural/oral or written/read form) involves reference to the Virgin, I think this would be a legitimate eggcorn. It would be good to have some sort of evidence that they do think that, of course.

I realize that it wasn’t submitted as a contribution, but rather as a greeting or announcement. So, Happy New Year to all!
