That's Latvian, with the Ziemassvçtki standing for "winterfest" and not being a Christian thing, having been celebrated by Pagan Latvians, too.

That's the Catholic version (lit: Blessed Christmas). Us ordinary people just say :"Gelukkig kerstfeest" or "Prettige kerstdagen".

In Turkish:

Mutlu Noeller! (Merry Christmas)

In Turkish, many concepts about Christianity are from the Orthodox terminology (like Easter is 'paskalya' from Greek 'paskha') but christmas is obviously from French, somehow: Noel (plural in Turkish: Noeller)

Mutlu Yillar! (Happy New Year)

(Mutlu: Happy. Yil: Year. Yillar:Years)
