About My Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas from Salt Lake City, Utah, USA! My Merry Christmas has a rich history on and off the Internet. What began back in 1991 on a fax machine has grown into these merry pages. More than 8 million visitors made merry here last season -- and we expect to see many more in the Christmases to come. Our simple mission is to wish the world a Merry Christmas. We hope your visit to these pages is filled with fun and warmth. As we continue to research and to offer the best of Christmas available online we hope you will join the effort and let us know how we can improve.
