It is a form of Gaelic native to the Ilse of Man. So it is similar to Irish.

I actually misread the first post. I don't live on the Isle of Man, but I do have relatives there.

That's okej. I accept any holiday greeting whether you are from that area or not. I just want to see how many different greetings we can get here.

And by far, you have the most exotic entry.

Keep it up!!!
