agree  Edward Plaisance Jr: this is the most common...note: American usage is "Merry Christmas", British usage is "Happy Christmas"....let me correct that...while you will hear "Merry Christmas" in British usage, you will very rarely hear "Happy Christmas" as a greeting in the U.S.

Explanation:
Perhaps a more natural English flow and wording. Even more spun-out would be “… take this opportunity to …”
