What do you say to your customers during Diwali after landing in Mumbai?

If your answer is still “Merry Christmas,” then those passengers probably think that you are quite ignorant about the customer.

December 1-23: Happy Holidays.
December 24-25: Merry Christmas
December 26-30: Bye now
December 31: Happy New Year

For real, Merry Christmas for 3 weeks leading up to Christmas to buck perceived PC oppression is excessive.

I'm as Atheist as they come, but on the 25th, it's Merry Christmas.

Anybody offended does not bother me in the least. Think whatever you want to.

Isn't there something about star positions that makes it more like July?

I think so. December (and Spring) was choosen to line up with the Pagan holidays to make conversion less of a culture shock.

It’s not particularly complicated... have a great holiday season this time of year. Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.... merry Christmas!

Also, this is a great time to remember that unless you’re a dog driver, no one wants to hear your PAs. Even then, they don’t want to... but stop interrupting their movies otherwise! I love engaging, however keep it simple and sweet. Captain Hollywood said he would be succinct but kept on going for a while, completely ignoring his premise.

After it was finally over, less than 5 minutes later, CA America came on to tell us about the route he was taking, the cities we were flying over, the weather over the last 6 hours at our destination and what he had for dinner. 20 minutes later, he was back at it. I wasn't able to finish my 90 minute movie on a 1.8 block flight.

ENOUGH! If it isn't unexpected or inconveniencing, say a little something and then shut your pie hole.
