My dad knew a girl named Merry Christmas; given name Merry, surname Christmas...No, I am NOT joking!!!

Merry = happy or joyous; cheerful, etc. Almost archaic.
Christmas = Christ-mass, Christ from Greek 'Christos', savior; and the Catholic mass.

I once bought a house...

through a real estate agent named Mary Christmas. And she acquired the surname by marrying one Glenn Christmas (common last name in those parts). Now, THAT'S love!
