Subject: BS: NON CHRISTMAS CARD SENDERS BEWARE!!!!
WHAT SHALL WE DO WITH THEM!
The sending of Christmas cards is a wonderful custom.
I send them out to everyone-no exceptions!
I generally do my own artwork- this year a coke a cola santa in a guy fawkes chair setting with the slogan:
"what shall we do with him"
inside - we shall let you decide.
It is still not expensive to send christmas cards. If you make your own it can be a folded over piece of paper....
People cite expense, relative ease of communicating via phone and e.mail etc....
Not good excuses!
Christmas cards are more than communication and greetings. I enjoy them for their art. I have them hung up on a ribbon in the club basement pub of my house. They brighten the place up. I also think of the sender when I look at them.
I am tired of letting the bah humbug anti christmas card louts prevail. Its like any other traditional custom. It now needs protection from morons.
I suggest the design of a stamp or something that can go on christmas cards sent to those who refuse to take part.
Something like a santa uncle sam figure.
pointing and saying: I want you to send christmas cards!
Or perhaps a little package from the horse barn...
Anyone have any suggestions for the campaign?
