We got 2 Christmas cards this year. One came from a company that I haven’t dealt with in years and the other from a couple that my wife knew from her work 6 years ago and that I never met. Ho ho ho. My dogs got gifts from my brother and sister in law yesterday. They came from Amazon and each gift had a little Christmas tag. Close enough. I call that a win. Merry Christmas everyone.
I’m one of those seniors who still sends (and enjoys receiving) Christmas cards. Sadly, with little reciprocation and the passing of friends and relatives, that list has become extremely short. What makes me happy is that both my daughter AND daughter-in-law are believers in this tradition. Geez…I remember my mother sending out about 200 cards and getting the same back. I miss that.
I remember back in the 20th Century when people would send “thank you” cards for gifts received in the mail or otherwise unexpected. It’s saving us a ton of money, however, as the “no thank you card” person never gets another present from us.
Wow that “last century” comment is sobering. My wife has never liked to send Christmas cards so we haven’t for years. However for every birthday and anniversary in the family, I give two cards, a “regular” card and a “special bonus” card. It’s become known as my thing

I mail my cheapscape brother BD and Christmas cards to try, unsuccessfully, to guilt him into mailing me one.

Don’t see nothing under that tree folks. Did Mother gargle snaffle them? Or is Bah Humbug Brutus playing a trick waiting for Christmas Morning?
