I want to get one of those from a bitter family on the verge of collapse:

Timmy, now constantly says 'fuck' cause his daddy can't stay away from the OTB or strip joints. Speaking of Carl, that fat bastard, he was laid off again this year. So for the 7th consecutive year his New Year's resolution will be to maintain a steady job longer than he maintains an erection (lord knows those last far too long with his blue pills). Still no word from our lovely daughter, Abigail. Last we heard she was heading to Vegas to marry her ex-con boyfriend. Although upsetting at times, it does bring a tear to my eye as many of you know that's how I met Carl. Well I must be off to my third job. Lord knows those trucks don't clear the snow by themselves. Wish me luck and send crank if you have it. All my best,

The Johnsons.

actually, that card would probably be breath of fresh air compared with all the usual ones I get!

A little bit of honesty never hurt anybody, right?!?!

good for you d2d! a wife who doesn't act like her husband's mother!

I am somewhat of an amatuer photographer- well at least I know how to take a good photo, get exposures right, etc, and I actually TRY to do so-and the CRAP that people send out to everyone they know baffles me. It's like oh, there's baby suzi, with red eye.

i have never, nor will i ever....remotely take on the role of 'mommy' for my husband. yikes!


and yes, the average pic of the rugrats...human or animal....are quite sad. the average person can't take a pic to save their life, hahaha.....and they just look at who's in the pic, are they in christmas garb...and that's it. not to say that on occasion i haven't gotten a great pic, but more often than not....nope. and yes, i quite honestly am not interested in any pics of people's family for my holiday greetings, but that's me.


so yes, i send cards to those dear to me who i will not see in person during the holidays, maybe not at all during the year period! if hubby would like to do so, he surely can....but beyond a card for me....it's nevr happened yet. i DO however, send cards to his dad, bro, sis and 1 aunt...just because.

well I did send a few before we got married-especially to my lady firends
but she gets into it, orders custom cards also from a local artist, keeps an electronic list etc.....its her thing-and she does hand write each and every one.

Im lucky, she likes it.

i like it too, otherwise i'd not do it. however, to send cards to his and mine distant relatives, all his firneds, most of whom we see regularly, etc....nah, i don't like it that much. funny too, almost all the years of our marriage, we got rather *known* for our cards, b/c i always send a particular photogrpaher's work. i think everything to do with the holidays should truly be done with love, b/c you WANt to, b/c you enjoy doing so, sharing/giving, etc. thus why i vastly reduced my list....b/c if it ain't fun, i'm not doing it for the holidays.

i will say i finally got the avery label program - in the past i just had a blank label template for generic labels - and i truly enjoyed updating my address labels this year. haha.

I barely acknowledge that other people actually exist. I’m certainly not sending anyone a card…

I just finished printing off a crapload of 'Happy Holiday' letters... complete with all of us... Me... Sennin & the kids... in a lovely autumn setting photo... with santa hats drawn on... on the top of the letter... with a couple of little elf graphics on each side...

a little message about what's happened during the year... hopes and wishes for Happy Times & Good Health & Cheer and All That...

...

and then I see this...

:(


*LOL* !

hahha...

now I'm going to enjoy stuffing them into the envelopes even more

Only if some asshole in the office gives one to everyone and starts a guilt-initiated chain reaction.
