Shame on me...I said it outloud, in public, and without a care as to who may read it and become offended!!!
MUAHAHAHAHAAAAA
Wanna know something? I'm saying it to everyone I talk to as well!
When I call a company, and listen to the bored greeting from the receptionist...I give her a bright Merry Christmas!!!
When I wait for 1/2 hour in line with miserable customers and excited kids, I say "MERRY CHRISTMAS" to the teller before she starts to ring in my stuff.
To boot...I'll strike up a conversation with the other people waiting in line, and before walk away with my purchases, I'll give them a loud and obnoxious MERRY CHRISTMAS shout out!
Sinful ain't it....
I'm still waiting for someone to take offense. It's not happening though....
I'm getting surprised looks, and warm reciprocation.
Wow...almost as if...almost as if it were CHRISTMAS!!!
I challenge you to try and find someone that is actually offended.
And if you do find someone (and this is what I've been waiting for)... you tell them, from me...that if they can stomach the day off work, they can surely spit out Merry Christmas with a smile.
I'd venture to guess you'll have the same problem I do though...and in the meantime, you'll be doing what hasn't been done in a long time...spreading a little Christmas cheer.
Wishing you all the best this Christmas season and throughout 2010!!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
