Members Lucky Posted December 10, 2011 Members Posted December 10, 2011 Christmas cards have come full circle for me. From sending none, to sending many to sending none. Well, if you send me one, I will send you one IF you do more than just sign the card. A card that just says a printed greeting followed by a signature means you are just going through the motions. A picture card is even worse. What am I supposed to do with it? Why do I need a picture of your adorable family that is not much more than a postcard? Especially when it is unsigned and just has a printed "The FourAces family wishes you a Merry Christmas." No, if you are going to send a card, make it a communication. Get your 44 cents worth! Tell me something I don't know about what has been happening to you. If you only write me once a year, go ahead and do the much aligned newsletter, all about Biffy's sex change surgery and Johnny getting out of rehab, "sure hope it works this time"! But, if you only traveled to Branson, Missouri, spare me the story of how you met Wayne Newton in the coffee shop. If you want to include a photo in the card, well, didn't Billy turn 18 this year? You could send a photo of him! But nowadays email has kept most of us in communication, and, if it hasn't, a Christmas card won't help. If I only hear from you once a year, and at that it is only a Christmas card with a signature, perhaps we need to reevaluate this relationship. Finally, for those who actually do send me cards, I love getting them! Send me more! After all, I wouldn't want you to think I was ungrateful. See, I am secretly pleased that you thought of me. Quote
Guest lurkerspeaks Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 I hope you got my card, Lucky. I sent it to you almost two weeks ago, and it had a very generous gift card enclosed for the Palm Springs erotic emporium for your holiday pleasure... If you didn't get the card, file a complaint with your local post office. And if you did get the card and it was missing the gift card, I suggest keeping a close watch on your mail carrier to see if he seems more jolly than usual. Quote
Members Lucky Posted December 10, 2011 Author Members Posted December 10, 2011 Yes, I go it, but I don't eat at Carl's Jr. I prefer In and Out burger, so I gave your card to Townie. Thanks, though! Quote

Guest hitoallusa Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 That's very dangerous, are you sure? I can talk forever to the point that you don't want my christmas card anymore.. Tell me something I don't know about what has been happening to you. Quote

I think that Lookin just proved the point! And don't forget, I said tell me "something" not tell me "everything!" Quote
