I can't type Merry Christmas in American Sign Language, but it's like this. Merry = Happy, so with flat hands, thumbs up slightly, palms towards body, pat your chest with an up-and-out motion one or two times. Christmas: using the right "C" hand, which is simply the shape of a C, palm away from body. Hold slightly lower, and in a direct line from, right shoulder. This should be the most comfortable position. Move the "C" in a tight circle, counter-clockwise to you. This is how you indicate an abbreviation, like ASL.
Merry Christmas! Yahalome Tal
