Is there a single word that means "Being merry at Christmas" but excludes being merry or happy at New Year?
There are three similar phrases which I would like to know the differences between:
go to school happily
go happily to school
happily go to school
I have long been confused by the placement of adverbs. From my personal view, there are definitely tiny differences, but I'm not sure...
I can only think of longer phrases.
e.g.
Don't worry about Geoff's manner. He's not a people-person.
But I'm sure there's a more succinct term.
Are the below sentences grammatically correct?
I wish a very happy Christmas and prosperous new year to you and your family.
