    Hey everybody - I have a wonderful opportunity to wish my Czech sweetheart a Merry Christmas via phone (it is a long story). First - some advice - if I can do it the 24th is that a better day than the 25th (my usual holiday)?

    Next - some pronunciation hints - Veselé Vánoce - Merry Christmas - can someone help with an English speakers hint how to best pronounce this?

    Thanks so much!

    Hi Fred,

    December 24th would be better since that's when Christmas starts in the Czech Republic, Christmas dinner is served, gifts are opened, etc.

    The approximate pronunciation of Veselé Vánoce is VEH-seh-leh VAH-no-tseh.
