It's Christmas, and Twitter has a lot to say about it
Shashi Tharoor's Christmas greeting seems to have left his fans heartbroken.
The Yuletide season is upon us, and Twitter is soaking up the Christmas spirit. Only, the spirit seems not to have agreed with some. From Santa's whiteness to Delhi's greyness, from lights on palm trees to making light of heavy words, Twitterati raised some pertinent points:
Sanskaari Christmas
This troll account could not stop meddling with religion.
Celebrating Christmas wouldn't convert you, it would just add few dollars to some MNC's revenue just like other festivals.

Hindu Dharma has got strong roots, just celebrating Christmas wouldn't convert Hindus into Christians. ????????️It would take two rice bags and 5k per head ????

And then actor Rishi Kapoor tweeted this.

This one, who did not mince words.
Dear Kids, celebrate Christmas with joy and all but Santa wouldn't come. The whole nation knows that a white bearded, fat, old man riding in a customized vehicle is fake.

No ban on Christmas in Delhi?
Given the rise in air pollution, several twitterati raised queries over why bursting crackers for Christmas had not been banned in Delhi. They must have had outdoor babecues too in mind.
waiting for ban on #ChristmasCelebrations as Delhi air back in ‘severe’ zone, 1st time since November .. https://t.co/AWpcew4ETp

Is SC going to ban sale of #Crackers in Delhi NCR citing #Christmas & #NewYear?If not,why not?Does SC think that Little Pollution (less no. of crackers) is Good for Health or that only Crackers burst on #Diwali pollute air while others improve air quality?#HinduDeniedEquality

Everything is for Christmas
“Can I eat anything in the fridge?”“No it’s for Christmas”“What can I eat then?”“There’s a piece of bread in the bin”“The bread bin?”“No that’s for Christmas. The actual bin.”

Serious issues on Christmas?
Santa Claus has to be a white guy. I mean women don’t feel safe going out at night forget that late. Black people won’t risk trying to enter houses via chimney. And nothing will get us brown people to leave our razai & chai to go delivering gifts in winter and that too for free.

When Shashi Tharoor wishes on Christmas
'Tis the season to be merry (& for some, to freeze!) Whether you are celebrating amid snow or with cotton balls masquerading as snow, may the festive spirit bring you good cheer at year's end. But spare a thought for He who was born today to spread love, peace & brotherhood... pic.twitter.com/rSKQm9vo3P

Twitterati was left upset finding no “rodomontade”, as the Christmas went by without their vocabulary being upgraded.
Sir, gift us new English words on Christmas.
