...think about just calling people on Christmas?

So, since Christmas is tomorrow, I was thinking of the people I should call to wish a merry christmas. Then I thought how nice it would have been if I had sent them Christmas cards. However, I've decided that calling is so much nicer than a card. Although cards indicate pre-planning, it's actually much more personal to make a phone call. I don't think the Christmas phone call is as widely accepted as the Christmas card as a means for spreading holiday cheer. This would also make the christmas contact list somewhat smalle and therefore more special. There are tons of people you would send a card to but much fewer that you would actually want to call. I have a year and a day to figure out a way to make this calling thing seem more official. Perhaps I can figure out some standard things that must be said in order to identify a phone call as an official "Christmas card" phone call. Just saying Merry Christmas is too easy. I think I will start with the birthday phone call. Even if you get the call near but not on your birthday, you can instantly recognize a call as THE "birthday" call. Maybe there can be an official calling christmas song. Now I have it! I'm going to write a Christmas phone call song that will be instantly recognizable. Then, much like the movie "Pay It Forward" one day I will receive a call and someone that I've never sang the song for will sing my christmas calling song for me. Until then....MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!! and HAPPY CHANUKKAH!!!!

PS, no, there is no Hanukkah calling song, that's just silly.

PPS. Yes, I do try to spell C/hanukkah in as many different ways as I can.
