I set myself upon a quest to find the most-used phrase That has been used to celebrate the joy of Christmas days. PEACE ON EARTH came into mind as one used quite a bit. JOY TO THE WORLD and HAPPY HOLIDAYS are both a hit. GOD REST YE MERRY GENTLEMEN is one I like a lot. GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN? Oh, yes! That's one that always hits the spot But which one is the most-used phrase...the commonest of all? Unable to decide myself, I gave Toerag a call. "Hey, Toe!", I said. "What phrase is out there you hear people say Which best can signify the meaning of the Christmas day? "That's easy, 'deer", Toerag replied. "The one that is best suited Is one that I see everywhere - BATTERIES NOT INCLUDED! [This message has been edited by Balladeer (12-07-2002 08:32 PM).] |
