Are you excluding Irish pilgrims who don't speak Irish? I fall into that category, so a translation would be nice.

Ummm...wading into the literal pool here.

.Forgive me, but I was taught that the first phrase literally meant, "Happy Christmas (said to a group, rather than to one person). Very much like "Felíz Navídad," but with the addition that Irish Gaelic tends to require the speaker to be specific about who or what group they're referencing

I said the equivalent of "Thank you(to one person)...more literally, Thanks be upon you(if my memory still serves), followed by, to you, the same ( again in the singular).

However it needs to be said, blessings and/or good wishes to all in this season of Northern darkness before light.

Irish was beaten into us, so much of it went back out the other ear but..

daoibh go léir..
To all of you / to you all

You rotter! Samarkand, pay no heed to him! It means Happy Christmas to you (plural)
from a Scottish pilgrim, recently officially adopted back to the nationality of my forebears - refugees in their own day.

 

[clearskiescamino]

And to you Mick!
