Coffee Cups 1481 and 1482
Posted by Lloyd Y. Asato | Filed under Poetics of Peet's
I get a lot of emails (two so far) asking why I say “Happy Christmas” instead of “Merry Christmas” as is more common here in North America. Really, you people need to get a life. I appreciate you reading and taking the time to write, but you scare me sometimes. I say “Happy Christmas” because I like the way it sounds, it expresses my wish to you, and it is what Clement Clarke Moore (an American from North America) wrote in his famous poem. 1481.
Anyway, I was not raised in North America. I did not watch a lot of television when I was younger. And that is too what Moore originally wrote. Besides, I also say “Happy New Year” instead of the more common “Piss Off”. 1482.
