Killer Sms Christmas Greetings

Killer SMS Christmas Greetings

Ah! It’s Christmastide! Time for festivity, celebrations, gifts, and killer SMS Christmas greetings! Bless that great country Finland for starting the remarkable short message service in 1993! Bless the global mobile phone user community for their exceptional, devoted, and path-breaking gr8 textual vocabulary so that the lovesick can por da luv 2 him or her! And of course, thank Jesus of Nazareth for giving us the day on which butterflies in the stomach flutter, carols are sung with religious joy, and family reunions bring back memories to cherish for life!

Since the last several years what makes my heart drenched with happiness the most, besides the gifts and the reunions, are the unabated floods of the unique SMSs that start trickling from the 1st day of December to ultimately drown me by the 25th. Text, multimedia, and voice SMSs all together make such a beautiful symphony that it surpasses Beethoven’s symphony no.9. The pleasure that I derive from reading Shakespeare’s Hamlet saying, “To be or not to be,” is mild compared to the pleasure that I gain from reading the SMS “2b or nt 2b”. Disapprovals are considered blatant when you laugh out loud in anybody’s face, which can be subtle in text as “lol”. PUAs (pick up artists) are popular to use opening lines in the form of SMS greetings for their first move to judge the prospect of facing a charge of sexual harassment before they advance further. Generally, cloaked SMSs are known as killer SMSs. They are invariably double entendres with a sexual connotation or a risqué involved. The first meaning is innocent but the second meaning is not that decent and is exactly what the sender of the SMS actually means. For example, “The Lord sacrificed his life for the love of us. Let us remember this and sacrifice our lives for the loves of each other. Merry Christmas.” This is a purely decent SMS when given to one’s family, but the meaning drastically changes if given to someone with an intention of an affair.

Killer SMSs exhibit the most frequency during Christmas. Perhaps due to general bonhomie during this time, the human body pumps higher levels of adrenaline and creative juices mingle with the cerebrospinal fluid in the central nervous system, making persons highly imaginative, highly romantic, and highly social. Killer SMS Christmas greetings are double meaning messages with the sole purpose of killing at point blank range under the mask of sociability and amicability. “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. Thy word is Love. May your Love light my path now and forever! Happy Christmas.” or “He that loveth not, knoweth not God; for God is love. Therefore, let us love. Merry X-mas.” or “There is a time and a place for everything under the sun. The time is Christmas and the place is in your heart. Happy Christmas!” Such killer SMSs are known to break or make many relationships.

However, if two or more events combine then they become much more potent and may connote meanings at many different levels. They are of all kinds, political, medical, psychological, etc. For example, “The snow is white, Santa’s beard is white, and the White House is white. Rest all is colored in the colors of God. Merry Christmas.” Here the second meaning is obviously political and may not go well with certain audiences, but then that is the sole purpose of sending such political double entendre killer SMS Christmas greetings. Again, they may be of the medical kind. For example, “The human brain has a left lobe and a right lobe. My left is not functioning right and there is nothing left in my right. That’s why I think about you from my heart. Hearty Christmas!” An example of a psychological kind would be, “Freud’s id, ego, and superego seem to be based wholly on sex. Let us meet and discuss why Freud seemed so obsessed with sex. Happy XXX-mas!” Thus, we find that killer SMS Christmas greetings say something else and mean something else. They are of all types, shades, hues and colors.

However, I personally find the most pleasurable are the ones that say and mean the same thing and kill in a positive way. For example, “Hey mom! I am coming home with Steve, Richard and Susan! Merry Christmas!- Rebecca.” When mom gets this SMS from her daughter Rebecca who is coming for a family reunion along with her husband Steve and children Richard and Susan, she is so overwhelmed with happiness that she has to put her hand on her chest to steady the fast heartbeats. Such positive killer SMS Christmas greetings are perennial, favorites, and classics.

Merry Christmas.

Question by lunar_craze: On Christmas do you greet people by saying Happy Holidays, Seasons Greetings,or Merry Christmas?
I belive that you should greet people by saying Merry Christmas cuz when you say Seasons Greetings or Happy Holidays, it seems like you try to erase the one thing that even lets us celebrate Christmas. The fact that that why its called CHRISTmas? Cause its Christ who was born that day.

In 1942 Crosby’s recording was featured in the movie Holiday Inn and rose in popularity and on the music charts to the number one position.

Other and Recent Recordings In 1957 Elvis Presley recorded the song for his “Elvis’ Christmas Album”, more recent artists who have recorded the song include Linda Ronstadt (2000), Andrea Bocelli (2009), and Boy George (2009).

I’ll Be Home For Christmas

The source of the songs lyrics are somewhat controversial with an initial copyright date of 1943 by James Kim Gannon and Walter Kent. The original author however was thought to be Buck Ram who stated he wrote the words while away at school as a college student. Early recordings of the song often credit all three as writer for the song, while other recordings are known to credit only Kim Gannon, and Walter Kent.

In 1943 “I’ll Be Home For Christmas” joined “White Christmas” as one of America’s most popular holiday songs. It is known to have been a favorite requested song by military personnel during World War II.

The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an open fire)

“The Christmas Song” was written in 1944 by vocalist Mel Torme with co-writer Bob Wells. Written during a hot summer day, the lyrics were meant to reap the benefits of the mind being cooled off with snow, Eskimos and other cold weather ideas. Although originally recorded by The Nat King Cole Trio, Mel Torme recorded his own versions in 1954, 1965, and 1992.

Nat King Cole Version The popular Nat King Cole version was recorded in 1946 and in 1974 was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. There were subsequent recording of the song by Nat Cole including the song’s first magnetic tape recording in 1953, and it first being recorded in stereo in 1961.

Christmas Scrapbooking: the Mini-album

When most scrappers think of Christmas scrapbooking, many images come to mind that are rather conventional. For example, images of a family around the Christmas tree, photos around the Yule tide fire, and other pictures usually included in Christmas cards.

While most scrappers search for Christmas scrapbooking ideas that “leap off the page”, perhaps it is better for scrappers to abandon the idea of the page altogether. In other words, even though scrappers do their best to make pages that fit well in an album, there are other ways of expressing Christmas scrapbooking ideas than just in the album.

One of the best ways to do Christmas scrapbooking is to start a mini-album. A mini-album is exactly what it sounds like, a scrapbooking album designed only to celebrate one memory or a few memories. They are meant to be small, like the size of a half or quarter page, and not hold many pages. A mini-album is a perfect way to use your Christmas scrapbooking skills, and when complete, they can sometimes be used as either gift cards or gifts in and of themselves!

After all, many people send a letter that explains what their family did during the year, but statistics have shown that very few ever read these letters. Imagine how much your family’s mini-album will stand out from the usually run-of-the-mill family letters which are nothing but words that few want to take the time to read. A mini-album uses pictures that say a thousand words, along with text and decoration of a Christmas scrapbooking page really showcases that which you value.

In addition to all the things your family has accomplished in the year, you can really put anything into this Christmas scrapbooking mini-book. Generally, it is good to see Christmas images associated with it. This means taking a picture of yourself with your family in the conventional surrounding mentioned earlier, such as around a Christmas tree or fireplace. Keep in mind that one might have to take such photos months in advance.

You may also want to avoid the cliché, so to speak of Christmas scrapbooking and go with something altogether different. There are no rules of what you can and cannot do with this, but you should embrace ideas that celebrate the season and the artist’s family.

The Christmas scrapbooking mini-book should use Christmas colors, including red and green patterns. Decorations should also be holiday-themed, including ribbons, bows, or even wrapping paper. Once again, it is not wise to limit oneself with traditional Christmas scrapbooking patterns, as the mini-album is one Christmas scrapbooking idea where the scrapper can really use his or her imagination.

Even though the Christmas scrapbooking mini-album takes a lot of creativity, it is practically made for mass production. With a little prepared pattern and some paper, along with some lettering, a mini-book is a snap to assemble. All one needs to do is fold some paper in two, then bind them together using staples or even thread.

Once the frame is assembled, it is easy to let Christmas scrapbooking creativity flow as photos, stamping, embossing, and every skill the scrapper knows can be put proudly on display.

Michele Cardello, director of marketing and creative for Life Imprints, a creative scrapbooking supplies company in Cleveland, Ohio, has worked in the photo packaging industry for 10 years. Cardello helps customers find creative ways to preserve and appreciate a lifetime of memories.
