Bonjour!

Can anyone tell be how to say Happy Christmas and possibly I love you lots in French. It's not for homework it's for a joke card Le Chat Domestique et son Caractere. I'm trying to turn it into a Christmas card for my boyfriend.

Failing this I'm going to have to write Ca va bien merci et vous? And go for the nonsense comedy. :D

Merci!

Aha I think I have it- is it Joyeux Noël?
Now to find some terms of endearment...

Yes, it is Joyeux Noël (good job on the tréma).

What else would you like to have translated?

Thank you, it's been sooo long since I did French. I was always better at German anyway.

I know where the accents are on the other stuff in the question, I just couldn't find the right key stokes!

What would you say 'the festive cat' would be?

I don't think I'll find that in a general vocab list...

Hmmm... "festive cat" eh? I guess you could use "chat festin" but it kind of loses the meaning along the way.

The closet thing I could think of is
Le chat de fête - festival cat

But that could be nonsense in french. I always got told off for just translating the words and not the sentence if you know what I mean.
