Here is what I don’t want to hear this holiday season:
I didn’t know we were exchanging gifts this year.
Those trousers do make you butt look big. (followed by a single gun shot. I am acquitted).
I thought you liked fruit cake.
We are doing an ugliest Christmas sweater contest this year.
You can get women’s clothing using a Cabela’s gift card. Refer back to #2 on my list.
The turkey was not cooked thoroughly. That shade of blue on your face really brings out your eyes.
Why is the husband sitting on Santa’s lap?
Here is what I want to hear, what I long to hear this holiday season:
Merry Christmas
Happy Christmas
Have a Merry
Feliz Navidad
Frohe Weihnachten
Joyeux Noël
Buon Natale
Feliz Natal
メリークリスマス
С Рождеством
Vrolijk kerstfeest
God jul
Veselé vánoce
Mutlu Noeller
May your days be merry and bright
Happy Hanukkah
Happy Chanukah
Happy Chanukkah
Happy Chanuka
The Festival of lights
Festival of Dedication
Chag Chanuka Sameach
Chanuka Sameach
חג חנוכה שמח
I have a little dreidel I made it out of clay.
Can we just put aside all our differences and wish each other peace, love and happiness during the month of December? Does it really matter how we say it as long as we believe in the message of good will to all?
I was at a holiday party this weekend and when people started to leave the expressions they used took over the sentiment they wanted to convey. Does have a merry and a happy need to be said instead of Merry Christmas and Happy Happy Chanukah? We come to this festive time of the year and act like Chanukah and Christmas are dirty words.
And you know what – if someone wishes me a Happy Chanukkah or Merry Christmas and really means it, then my heart is filled with what this holiday season is all about. Presents.
Now if they give me eight days of gifts I will be wear the ugliest Christmas sweater while walking down Fifth Avenue.
Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah and a Happy New Year to You All.
And my hair did not catch on fire.

I love this post! It provided a much needed chuckle after a work-filled day! Thank you! And may I say I’m with you regarding the sincere Merry Christmas wish from others? That’s all we really need this holiday season!
Thanks Bella. I do try! I don’t care what people say especially if they mean it. the holidays need to be about caring and not what is considered to be PC. Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah and a Happy New Year to you and your loved ones.
Well said. So Happy Kwanzaa to you, my pale and righteous friend. xoxo
Meg- who yo ucalling pale?
Happy Kwanzaa to all also.

A most excellent post! And you are right – people are so focused on WHAT to say, they lose sight of what it means to celebrate Christmas! LOVED your list. I’m still snickering at that “followed by a single gunshot…” Very wixked sense of humor (visiting via Twitter via @krrobi, Kim from My Inner Chick) – glad I did. Off to read about grandma (Hubby’s fave stupid song)!!
Hey Nan, Thanks for stopping by. Don’t you just love Kim. I can see that you are a sarcastic sister just by your response. Will be checking out your site and just mght drop a note or 2. Merry Christmas! and a fab 2012. elizabeth
