Okay, I think I’ve received three of those “Merry Christmas, Y’all” text messages today.
That shit has to cease. Now.
The way I see it, the “Merry Christmas, Y’all” text message is just a form letter. It saves you the time of telling people somehting good. Guess there’s something to that, but it also removes all the warmth and cheer that comes from a good Merry Christmas call.
That sucks.
On Christmas, I wanna hear from my folk. I want to hear voices. I want to hear children in the background. I wanna feel the love.
And love cannot be shared with predictive text.
So call me if you want. But please, don’t shoot a text. The same applies for Thanksgiving and my birthday. New Year’s, which I consider to be a useless holiday, is fair text message game.
But no love for and from the form letters.
Merry Christmas to ya. If I have your number, I’ll give you a call. If you just wanna hear my voice, shoot me your number and I’ll be sure to call you.
