Pickles by Brian Crane for December 11, 2024

At least we got a nice Christmas card from the Chocktaw Nation again with a new calendar.

You have no idea who the card is from, and yet you kept the card.

I know I’ve seen this one before…

I am late doing the cards this year, what is the Pickles’ address?!

My brother in-law would always send his out the day after Thanksgiving this is the first year I haven’t got one. Miss you Bob

Why in the sam heck would ANYONE clutter a table for a task at hand, with a bunch of old crap? And who even keeps old cards ? It’s a good indicator of what their closets, garage, attic, and shelves, etc…. look like.

For a while, in Grade School we had to sell boxes of Christmas Cards to make money for the school. It became a contest as to who could sell the most boxes. The same kids usually won because their fathers sold their cards to many people at their jobs. I have not liked Christmas Cards since then. Although, if my young nieces had offered them I would have bought cards, out of pity.

We keep sending cards to older people on our list, in case they are lonely. This year we’re cutting out Millennials and younger relatives, since they never send cards to us.
