Merry Christmas...blah blah blah....

As I mentioned yesterday, I am collecting holiday cards for donation, and I have been handling this on behalf of my 65 nearest and dearest colleagues, as well as my own family.

I took a few minutes from the computer eyestrain that is my daily existence to separate the card fronts from the backs earlier and I found this one...


Please note the following :

• preprinted, cheerful, holiday message
• lack of signature
• RETURN ADDRESS LABEL in lieu of a signature
• insignia on the labels, toasting the new year 2001

I mean, I know the whole holiday thing has become a farse and most of us are just going through the motions, sending cards because we think we should, buying gifts because Macys tells us to... but this is ... wow.
