   For quite some time, Apple has supported right-mouse buttons on 3rd party mice   
   (without needing additional software) - and offered right-click support for   
   Apple mouse models, but it's not enabled (for Apple models) by default - it   
   needs to be turned on in the System Preference (Apple-speak for Control Panel).

   I studied Hebrew after school for several years as a child but never became   
   comfortable with it - so I had to Google the phrase. Apparently it literally   
   translates as 'For a good year' and is a shortening of the phrase 'L'shanah   
   Tovah Umetukah' - 'For a good and sweet year' - and is more traditionally used   
   at Rosh Hashanah - the new year on the Hebrew calendar (generally in September   
   or October).   
      
   Since Christmas isn't a holiday traditionally celebrated by Jews, it would   
   make sense that there isn't really a way to say 'Merry Christmas' in Hebrew!
