I once worked for Hallmark and someone once gave me a HUGE compliment by asking me if I write for them? (I took it as a compliment anyway). No, I just stocked for them. Anyway, with the consumer rush to get Christmas Cards sent to friends and family, I found this funny article today ....here is a portion of it. I can so relate!
If we're going to send cards , we need cards that fit real life, cards that say:
“I'm sorry my daughter pushed yours into the river at Girls' Camp, however your daughter was on fire, after all.”
“You graduated! Listen, after everything you've put your poor parents through, you ought to be giving them a gift…”
“To a dear Aunt, who never remembers anybody else's birthday…”
“Get well soon, since everybody knows you're faking it again just for the casseroles…”
“I know we dislike each other, but isn't this your birthday?”
“Thank you for giving me so much tribulation, for it is through trials that we grow…”
“Congratulations on winning the Pinewood Derby. I mean, on your dad winning the Pinewood Derby …”
“My deepest apologies for knocking off your toupee with the sacrament tray.”
“To the happy couple, who probably won't be happy that I ignored the tacky gift list printed on your invitation…”
“Thank you for teaching our little Jonathan how to play Hang Man every Sunday this year.”
