Christmas cards

Continuing on the subject, Pfister (pfucks-up) sent me a Christmas card telling me "Das für den Schweizer Detailhandel schwierige Jahr neigt sich dem Ende zu". Oh really! Well I friggin contributed to their profit!

But the point was I don't get why people still send paper Christmas cards. "Everybody" has a computer these days, what's wrong with electronic cards? I cannot throw away personal cards and letters, and am already stuck with "tons" of it in boxes in the basement. Somebody is one day getting the questionable pleasure of binning it. Won't be me, but I can tell you the cost for Zürisäcke will be considerable!

But people know me, so they are never expecting cards from me. You want a Christmas wish? Read the blog :).

What I really don't get is people who insist on sending paper Christmas cards and then don't really say anything, just Dear So and So, Merry Christmas, From So and So. What is the point if you cant be bothered with a personal message. So much wastage, it makes me sick. I, however, have no trouble binning them (in the recycling bin of course!) Although that didn't used to be the case, I admit its taken me a long time to get to this non-sentimental stance.

The thing is when you get those cards from people you never hear from the rest of the year. Spare me please!
