1843 was also the date of the publication of charles dickens' christmas carol and it was around that time, in the early part of the reign of queen victoria, that christmas as we now know it was largely invented. the word merry was then beginning to take on its current meaning of 'jovial, and outgoing' (and, let's face it, probably mildly intoxicated). prior to that, in the times when other 'merry' phrases were coined, for example, make merry (circa 1300), merry england (circa 1400) and the merry month of may (1560s), merry had a different meaning, i.e. 'pleasant, peaceful and agreeable'.
that change in meaning is apparently viewed with disfavour by queen elizabeth ii, who wishes her subjects a 'happy' rather than 'merry' christmas in her annual christmas broadcasts. the idea of a modern-day merry england is presumably unwelcome at the palace.
