Grand Avenue by Mike Thompson for December 21, 2015

I gave up on sending cards this year. I hate email cards with a passion. Can’t hang them up for display, & it tells the recipient that they did not care to actually take the time to purchase, write out a personal note or enclose a newsletter, address & mail the cards. That is what made the cards special. No, a choice of a few generic cards that millions upon millions of people will be using. All of the graphics in the world can’t compete with a real card. It is the thought of the time & effort it took someone to remember that you are fondly thinking of them at this special time of the year. What is Hallmark’s saying? When you care to send the very best of heartfelt greetings? That is the difference in social media “cards” or hardcopy cards.

Agreed Gabby.

for once gabby has a good point instead of being a smartaleck.

Problem is when the person who sent the ecard can’t afford to buy the cards and stamps to send you the card he/she’d rather have sent. Nor is any longer able to bake or get around to see those people in person.

Still far too much information!
