X’s & O’s
That’s interes0ng! Abbreviated signoffs including X's and O's are o/en used in chat rooms and instant messaging. Below is an a m u s i n g l i s t o f t h e s e abbrevia'ons: OOO = big hugs XXX = big kisses oo = hugs for everybody but you OO! = big, excited hugs CCC = hugs for people you can't quite reach around OOQ = hugging with tongue
Love is in the air, love is everywhere…Cold February and upcoming St. Valen'ne’s Day reminds us how important it is to feel warmth and love. XO’s are the best way to express it! Hugs keep us alive; kisses keep us happy -‐ so make other people happy. This LOVEly session won’t leave anyone indifferent. Express your emo'ons, feel the EYP spirit, get free hugs and warm kisses from your dear misters and misses! All we need is love!
Valen'ne's Day gree'ngs o/en include a string of XXX or XO. So, what does XO actually mean? The common custom of placing X's on envelopes, notes and at the boCom of leCers to mean kisses dates back to the Middle Ages, when a Chris'an cross was drawn on documents or leCers to mean sincerity, faith, and honesty. Since most of the common people could not read or write, the 'X' was placed on documents, and a kiss placed upon it as a show of their sincerity. The 'O' is of North American decent; no one really seems to know how it was started. It has been said that when arriving to the US, Jewish immigrants would use an 'O' on documents, not using the sign of the cross. Perhaps now it is used as the 'O' being rounded represents arms encircling another, as in an embrace. Now, 'X' is used to signify a kiss and 'O' means
a hug. People use it to express love, affec'on, passion or just good friendship, something to stay warm and share our warmth with others and show our feelings.

Georgians will definitely impress us with passionate dancing, Ukrainians will wear vyshyvanka and treat their foreign guests with varenyky, uzvar, kvas or any special'es to represent par'cular region.

Tradi'onal Euroconcerts involve gi/ed performers to surprise us with their talents. However, our stars used to get only rounds of applause and no comments or awards.
