Here’s what I wrote on homemade Christmas cards last year (I
didn’t make homemade Christmas cards this year due to printer issues and
depression).
[OUTER TEXT]
MERRY
CHRISTMAS,
[recipient]
There
is truly no time like Christmas, (except
the Xmas stuff on sale before Nov. 1; that’s very much like Halloween). Family reunions happen (decades old buttons get pushed), people give each
other gifts (running over
pedestrians to get a hot item that will soon be old news), classic tunes get
played (over and over
again), classic
specials appear on TV
(most were never that good the first time around), Christmas trees get decorated (some kill real trees, knowing they’ll
be vacuuming hidden pine needles forever), homeless people get special dinners (then get ignored the rest of the
year),
stores get energized (claustrophobia
and long line-ups cocktail), leading to one magical day of peace and joy!
[INNER TEXT]
(the
calm before the chaos that is Boxing Week, starting the very next day)
Ah
well, have a wonderful Christmas anyway!
From,
Andy
