Ahhhh Christmas.Isn't it odd how you can go everyday without talking to the strangers around you but the minute Christmas (or other over the top holidays), occur everyone takes the time to say -have a great Christmas or enjoy the holidays all up-beat when you step out of the elevator, off the bus or even just walking down the street? It's never during the week mid year -say maybe a tuesday and someone you've never seen before says have a great day! I'd feel quite special if someone did that to me but at the same time it's socially unacceptable???...
I get the feeling this is only in the city though, it's incrediably impersonal and you actually wonder if anybody truly means it or if it's because at Christmas (or other) it is socially acceptable? I'd also kind of liken it to when you see a collegue or someone and you ask how they are -a lot of the time it is just a sentence filler as the usual answer is along the lines of -fine thanks -as no one wants to air their dirty laundry, well okay the majority of us don't... give or take a select few individuals.
just a little something I pondered on today while waiting to finish work...
Have a Merry Christmas everyone! -see what I mean?...
