Holiday Cards

Well it is that time of year again time. It is a very exciting and stressful time what with everything that is going on. Why do we insist on making it so hard? I am not going to talk about political correctness today. My right to wish you a Merry Christmas or a Happy Kwanza I will cover at a later date.

Today I want to talk about Holiday cards. A lot of us send them and almost all of us get them. At my house I usually try to get to the mailbox early and get all the cards. This is not because I am excited to get the cards but because my R is very sensitive about how they are addressed. My A and R are married but my R did not take my A’s last name. This causes issues since my R is not Mrs. TheDog but something else. It really drives her nuts when people address stuff to Mr and Mrs TheDog or even worse Mr and Mrs Stephen’s A The Dog. This forces my A and I to try and get the mail first and remove all the offending envelopes before my R sees them.

Personally I don’t know why she really cares so much. From my point of view it must be nice to get cards. I don’t really get any almost, no one remembers to address cards to me. Even the darn swaddlepotimous gets her name on card but do people remember the dog? No they don’t the best I get is cards addressed to “TheDog Family” come on I have a name how hard is it to write seven more letters when you are addressing the card. Is seven letter to much for you? Are you getting carpal tunnel? come on seven letters to make the dog happy is it really so hard?
