tabitha - i'm glad to know that i'm not the only one agonizing over xmas cards!
"peace on earth"? too hippy, not bloody likely. next. jesus-themed? too religious. next. "wishing you and your family joy and prosperity"? guilts the single. next. christmas themed scatalogical humour? not family safe. next.
the one i wound up getting had a little daschund in a red sweater walking in the snow. inside, it said "walking in a weiner wonderland". awful! terrible! but i know my grandpa likes the stupid puns, so i sent it cause he'd like it, and all my other card recipients had to suffer for it.
anyway - xmas seems like a lot of work, i don't blame you for wanting to skip out, i'm personally looking forward to xmas for the joy of having 4 days off work in a row! then i can snooze and paint. i want to back out of xmas dinner too (esp. since i promised to cook, what was i thinking?) all this togetherness and happy crap is just too contrived, why can't people just play nice year round?
