Is anyone the unfortunate recipient of one of those yearly Our-Perfect-Family's-Achievements-This-Year barf letters? My parents used to be plagued by them in the '70s and '80s from old neighbours and my dad's colleagues. The last one I received was a few years ago, and what made it worse was that I only knew this woman through an online group and had no idea who the hell all those people mentioned in her form letter actually were. It swiftly ended up where it belonged...in the fireplace.
How timely. I just blogged a bitch about Christmas cards and this sort of superficial communication.
I'm at the "oh, God, how long before I really do have to give this some serious consideration" stage.
I caught myself doing this yesterday with "Let it Snow". I blame the weather, not Christmas. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
Wow, that's a lot of revenue the charities are going to lose from selling less cards. I'm from a close extended family and I don't dare not send any of my elderly aunties a card with a photo of the kids every Christmas. I also have quite a few friends living all over the world with whom I regularly exchange cards. As it happens we buy only charity cards, and get through quite a few packs every year.
I should have ordered it last week but I had other stuff to sort out. 
Very lovely.. my feet are deep frozen right now though.. but it is worth it.
I barely got the ornament box out of the garage before I had to quit. It sucks being sick on a holiday weekend!
