Usually watching the Grey Cup is my time to do my Christmas cards but this year, for the first time in about 40 years I didn't. I didn't for two reasons and the first one is the postal strike.
Now I think they are shooting themselves in the foot, considering that their business has fallen completely to a all time low between the internet, computers, etransfers, cell phones and of course Amazon, who uses other companies to ship their stuff. Yes, remote places need the postal service but being remote I am sure they have done with less in the winter when it comes to deliveries. Sure, I send Christmas cards and some do send a few out but really not too many do anymore. It is becoming a lost art, so what will happen is that people will make adjustments and whatever they use mail for they won't for a time until it is up and running again and life will go on. End of my little rant on postal strikes.
The second reason is my arthritis, although I manage to push through lots of things, my hands are not as strong as they were and they really cannot manage a lot of writing when it comes to cards, so I am sticking to writing a Christmas greeting letter here on my blog, emails to those who are not on Facebook, lots of Facebook Christmas posts and really, leave it at that. No cards this year! I am done or at least my hands are.
So have a great day, my friends!
My card list has almost gone the way of the dinosaur. Thanksgiving Day has always been my day to address them. I wonder if this year will be the end of that tradition?
ReplyDeleteThe cats are very wise. 😉
Happy Monday.
Yes, cats are usually smarter than people and least a lot of them out there. I wonder about the end of the tradition too. Think postal workers are striking themselves right out of a job.
