How funny. I like holiday cards as long as they are personal. I take a lot of time choosing cards and sending them to people with personalized, handwritten notes and hand-addressed (by me)envelopes because I think it's a nice time to tell the people you care about or have enjoyed talking to or working with during the past year how much you, in fact, really enjoyed them. I love the cards I get (with the exception, I'll admit, of the ones where it seems like 4,000 were printed, which sometimes makes me feel that very little personal effort was made other than printing the mailing list onto labels). Since so much communication is done by email these days, it's nice to get a piece of paper I can touch with a personal sentiment in it.

Wha, you don't like knowing that your office supplies vendor sincerely wishes you well, or that the janitor who cleans up your bathroom is "thinking of you"?

Yeah, I'm with you there... I barely tolerate the cards from family I haven't seen in years.

If the vendor cares, they send a basket or other gift that doesn't prominently display the vendor's product name. I don't want mugs, or t-shirts, or pens. I'll take a basket of fruit or even a tray of processed cheeses and sausage first...

The sad part of the whole issue is that it has been proved that Christ was not born in December but that it is actually a pagan celebration of the birth of Tamus, the son of Semiramus. The whole sickening lie with cards, Christmas music, Santa Claus and the pretentious good will forgotten for the rest of the year are frankly banal.

I think you need a huge or maybe one of those gigantic, totally obnoxious cards that has two arms and gives you and automatic hug everytime you open it -- people spend a lot of time and effort into creating holiday card list -- selecting and buying cards with one single thought in mind, to reach out and touch someone -- let them know somebody is thinking about them and cares about their existence -- so throw them away if you must or what would be even better is to collect them all and donate them to your local shool, kindergarten, afterschool program or even to a child care in your neighborhood -- the cards that so annoy you can brighten a childs day by being recylced for their weekly arts & and crafts project or repurposed for them to make new cards from -- don't just complain look for a solution --
