My FB page is packed with merry Christmas wishes. Some pure n simple Merry Christmas, some like it short n simple, Merry Xmas, (who wants to type CHRISTMAS!) Some are special ones, “don’t want much 4 Christmas. I just want the person reading this to remain happy & merry in life 4ever.” And this message is posted for the benefit of more than 350 people, how do you think Santa will manage this?
This one is a very happy one and it simply says Happy Merry Christmas, everyone!
Another happy Indian Christmas I came upon was “Anandmay Xmas” true Indian, true secularist.
A greeting from Santa I thought “Ho ho ho.. Merry Christmas to everyone” but it was from a lesser mortal than Santa.
But then there are some unique ones too. “MARRY” Christmas, dear whom you planning to marry off too? Then there is “Very Meri Christmas”, will someone please tell the fellow is not meri teri, its Merry!
A dear friend of mine wished all the way from the Vatican City
Here's wishing everyone a very merry and blessed Xmas, this was not from the pope but still sounds like it.
But my favorite one was “A day in my office is like Christmas. I do all the work and a fat guy in a suit gets all the credit. Merry Christmas all!”. Applies to all of us dsnt it? But underneath all these different ways of greetings and wishing and there lies a desire to pray and hope for a better future for the other person, weather the other is willing to reciprocate or not. Though the deed is a very small, the thought that counts is insurmountable one.
Hey before you go don't forget to add your share of funny interesting or unusual greetings to my list.
HA HA HA COULDNT CONTROL MYSELF AFTER READING THE OFFICE PARA..
ReplyDeleteBUT LET ME TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHOW YOU WHAT I OBSERVED IN THE WISHES YOU GOT. DONT GET OFFENDED BUT SEEING IT THE WAY I SEE WILL GIVE YOU THE ACTUAL FEEL OF THIS FESTIVAL
** THE PERSON SENDING US THE WISH OF STAYING HAPPY KNOWS THE CHALLENGES AND GRIEVANCES WE FACE IN LIFE CANNOT WITHER BY A GIFT OR A GOOD GESTURE, NOBODY ELSE CAN MAKE US MORE HAPPY THEN OURSELVES. FOR ME THIS IS THE BEST WISH WHICH WILL GIVE ME FAITH TO KEEP MYSELF HAPPY AND MERRY THE WHOLE YEAR.
** ANANDMAY XMAS SENDERS ARE THE ONES WHO GRAB MY ATTENTION AS ALL THESE YEARS AND ALL THESE WISHES REALLY MADE ME FORGET THE ACTUAL MEANING OF HAPPY & MERRY. READING ANANDMAY REMINDS ME WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT
** YOU SHOULD REALLY ADMIRE THE PERSON WISHING WITH THE IMMORTAL EXPRESSION HO HO HO. HE KNOWS IN TODAYS WORLD WHERE HUMAN POPULATION HAS INCREASED BY LEAPS AND BOUNDS.... A SINGLE SANTA CANNOT SPREAD CHEERS TO EVERYONE. LISTNENING TO HO HO HO MAKES US FEEL THE WARMTH AND LOVE OF SANTA. THIS WISH IS TO THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE DEPRIEVED FROM THE BLESSINGS AND GIFTS FROM SANTA HIMSELF.
** PLEASE DONT MIND PEOPLE WITH MARRY XMAS. THEY ARE THOSE ENTHUSIASTIC PEOPLE WHO ARE EXPRESSING THEIR MOST EAGER WISH TO GET MARRIED DURING THE HOLY PERIOD OF CHRISTMAS.
** THERE ARE NO COMMENTS TO THE OFFICE PHRASE BUT THAT HAS REMINDED ME THAT BEING A STRICT & ANGRY BOSS, IT IS MY DUTY TO SPREAD SMILES AMONG MY EMPLOYEES DURING CHRISTMAS
MERRY CHRISTMAS
AND HAVE A GREAT YEAR AHEAD
