Saying Merry Christmas via SMS

About a week before Christmas I sent this out to my friends via SMS…

In this season of frenzied commercialism masked as a religious celebration, let us take a moment to reflect on its real meaning… Moments over, regalo ko ha!

And this afternoon, Christmas day, I sent this out to all my friends…

Everything that needs to be said can be summed up in two words: MERRY CHRISTMAS! Any questions?

Someone reacted that it was so typical of me saying that it was my “own version of a humbug Christmas.”

I disagree… It is simply my statement against the utter lack of creativity and imagination when sending holiday greetings. How many times did you get this one?

In this joyous season of merrymaking and endless parties, remember this: “Thou shall not weigh more than the refrigerator!”

Are we so busy that we cant even come up with a simple message or are we simply too lazy to even bother thinking of the words to express our sentiments. Somehow the message is lost in this frenzy of forwarding the cutest, funniest, and nicest, messages that we get. In the end it is just the telecoms service providers who end up having a laugh... HoHoHo!

Maybe it would be better if we keep it short and simple…

Merry Christmas to one and all…

  1. I remember the message you sent last year, although not in verbatim. I agree with you there. At least original yung message mo di ba? Hehehe.
