GREETINGS at Christmas extend BEYOND merely WISHING 'Merry Christmas' or 'Happy Holidays'. Christmas greetings embody a WISH that ALL will go well in whatever preparations that need to be made; and a genuine sentiment that much JOY, HAPPINESS and WELL BEING will be experienced by the individual and loved ones during the SEASON.

The SEASON of good CHEER and WISHES also reflects the JOLLY ho, ho, ho nature of Santa Claus. To the delight of CHILDREN, it is very easy for them to run into many jolly fellows dressed as Santa Claus during the Christmas season who will QUIZ them about whether they have been good or naughty.

Often when friends, relatives and loved ones call one another during the Christmas season, they will also speak to the CHILDREN and wish them MERRY Christmas, but usually not without a warning that they had better be good or else there will be no presents from Santa Claus.

For children therefore, a greeting of Merry Christmas has the purpose of increasing their anticipation for the arrival of Christmas Eve and Santa's visit to leave toys and Christmas presents under the TREE.

Because children also take part in many traditions associated with Christmas, holiday greetings for them is also a reminder of the fun they will have in doing such activities as decorating the TREE, helping to bake COOKIES and wrapping PRESENTS. When children have these things to look forward to at Christmas, it creates A LASTING MEMORY for them and helps to make their childhood one on which they will later reflect with much fondness in later years,

The more prevalent greeting of 'Happy Holidays' that is used nowadays reflects in part the also prevalent tendency to be politically correct in speech and communication. The greeting of 'Happy Holidays' can be given to anyone whether or not they celebrate Christmas. It avoids any offence being taken if someone is wished Merry Christmas when it's a celebration in which they don't participate or observe.

Happy Holidays is also used to extend a greeting of goodwill beyond Christmas to the coming NEW YEAR holiday period. For procrastinators and the chronically late greeting card senders, they can still drop a 'Happy Holidays' greeting card in the mail to friends and loved ones CLOSE to Christmas Day or even after and it will still be relevant.

Christmas greeting CARDS play a big role in communicating Christmas greetings and good cheer for the holiday season. It is a tradition that started in Britain in 1840 with the start of the first public postal deliveries. The production of large numbers of Christmas greeting cards started about twenty years later in 1860 with the improvement of printing methods.

Nowadays, Christmas greetings and greeting cards have further evolved with massive changes and development in TECHNOLOGY. The computer, which has become a necessary electronic equipment in just about every home, is commonly used to send Christmas greetings through EMAILING an online greeting or postcard..

ONLINE GREETING CARDS also have brought other changes such as being interactive or animated and they can also be easily personalized with pictures of individuals or families. Online greeting cards can be sent from Websites that are accessible to everyone or they can be easily created on a home computer.

Another way in which Christmas greetings are sent is by mailing GIFTS and presents to relatives and friends who live elsewhere. Except for the dreaded tax season, there is no other time when Post Offices become more crowded than during the Christmas season. Post Offices therefore play an important role in relaying Christmas greetings by handling thousands of greeting card mailings and gift packages for Christmas.

With just about everyone having a CHEERFUL SPIRIT for the Christmas season, it becomes MUCH EASIER to pause for even a brief conversation and extend a greeting of goodwill to friends, acquaintances, colleagues, neighbours and others.
