Re: Christmas Cards @ ChiefDelphi?

If everybody just kept their money and bought themselves cards, everyone would avoid the cost of postage, the post office would avoid the cost of fuel and employees, and everyone would still have a card.

This is a prime example of why more people should practice the "selfish Christmas" See, it is just a big swapping party anyhow, so if everyone just bought something for themselves, they would all end up with exactly what they wanted.
soooo don't do it then

Who's Kaite and why would you want to write her a card?
