Thread Name: BS: NON CHRISTMAS CARD SENDERS BEWARE!!!!
Subject: RE: BS: NON CHRISTMAS CARD SENDERS BEWARE!!!!
I have been making my own Christmas cards since the 60's. A girlfriend's mother used to find this somehow infra-dig or cheap as she put it. The stupidity was when she showed me the box she bought and only 6 pence a card. I didn't even bother to point out that my individually crafted had not only the personanl touch but the thought was not the price and I thought about the recipient as I made each one. Such concepts were lost on her generation who HAD make things out of poverty. 'sides which how could I explain that they wer more expensive - I was profligate and cheap at the same time. The girlfriend is of course an ex (long since).
Now that I do them on a PC they are cheaper but more professional, & I do feel I have lost something. The jokes are worse too!
