WotD: Four-letter word
It’s not very Christmassy; however, even at this time of year, you may hear four-letter words floating around the shopping malls or parking lots.
Four-letter words are rude or bad words that people find offensive.
Not all four-letter words have only four letters, but they’re all bad.
Everyone’s in a rush, and sometimes the stress gets the better of us.
We may forget the Christmas spirit and use a few four-letter words before we realize what we are doing.
Christmas is the time of year when we should all try to be a little more forgiving and have a little more control of our temper.
We don’t want the little kiddies hearing four-letter words (nasty or rude words) while they should be dreaming of hot chocolate and Santa Claus.
The next time you get frustrated trying to find a parking space, crack a smile and remember that Santa knows who’s been naughty and nice.
