latlh De'/Additional Information
Talking about Maltz, Okrand said: For "Merry Christmas," he wasn't so sure. He said that perhaps you could use the name of the holiday (which would be QISmaS) and say QISmaS yItIv or QISmaS DatIvjaj and so on. He thought that people who know about Christmas would understand that. He also liked my sister-in-law's suggestion: wornagh yItlhutlh!.
