Default German Translation Request

Good Morning! I am making a holiday greeting card for a customer and he wants it in German.

I know just where to go to find German speakers, so here is my query:


How do you spell "Merry Christmas" in German? Umlaut and all.


Thanks!

Jim

Thank you Captain Hornblower. I would like to put in the required paperwork to raise your rank to Colonel or Admiral.

One more - how do you write "Good Morning!" in German? Is it "Guten Morgen!" like Google says it is, or is there an Umlaut in there somewhere?

Well, until right now I thought Captain Hornblower was this funny looking guy with a skinny neck and no mouth.

But Google tells me that Captain Hornblower is a movie released in 1951.


And Captain Hornblower is wedding yacht based in San Francisco.
