Christmas Cards!

Honestly
Why do we really bother with Christmas cards!?
Between paying mad prices for things we just throw out after the big day (think of the trees!).

Writing them out is just impossible, remembering names of people you barely know and always trying to guess an acquaintances spouses name...

I've just started and already I've lost one to just bad writing, one injured due to having a licked envelope with no card in it (open letter surgery just saved it with minor scar tissue), another down due to smudge (whatever substance cards are made from it's like a whiteboard, built to easily rub off. but in reality it never rubs off it just smudges allover).

My next challenge is a card from a neighbour (No 24) I have to decipher the handwriting and just hope that my bad writing covers up the fact I just couldn't make out your name in the first place.

Honestly I just go into some kind of writing trance. I once remember sending a card saying "merry christmas from christmas" I'd wrote so many I just replaced my own name with christmas spirit...

I also lack the creativity to write anything meaningful in any card. beyond Merry christmas and a happy new year or any conceivable variant of that phrase. Still I'd love to open a card with MERRY JESUS BIRTHDAY have a nice skyblue cat with jam!

Best keep writing attention is fading.... and I've got card glitter allover my table!
