Lot of people still do Xmas cards?

My wife sends out 10 every year to her family. I do them on labels.

Where are the ones you ordered last year that arrived too late?

I don’t do Christmas cards any more.

My last cards were retirement cards

A Christmas card containing a letter about how junior is now an attorney making six figures and the grandchild that has an IQ of 140 at age 3.

Wow. They got the date to sync!

I remember back in the 60s when my parents sent dozens of cards. They kept an address book and would check off if they also received a card back. The list got smaller as they got older, until their cards only went to us kids. After he died, we discovered my dad kept some. Favorites, I suppose, though there was no way to know if it was due to the friendship or the artwork.

Use your dot-matrix silly, with your list on the mag card…

Never put off till tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow.

The gift that keeps on procrastinating.
