Why is it 'Merry Christmas' not 'Happy Christmas'?

It is "Happy Christmas" in some places. It was originally "Merry", but in England by Victorian times (that is, during the reign of Queen Victoria) "Merry" had come to be a euphemism for "drunken", and Victoria didn't think it was appropriate for her to wish her subjects "drunken Christmas", so she went with "Happy". "Happy" still predominates in the UK and and in former Commonwealth countries; elsewhere where English is spoken (basically, in the US) "Merry" is more common (the US had broken away from the British Empire before Victoria was born).
