to want my christmas cards to spread the joy at christmas, and not chastise me

[thankfeckitschrismas]

I just want my christmas cards to say happy christmas or seasons greetings or even happy holidays.

what i do not want is chastisements for not getting in touch, preachy missives about the state of the world, floods, Phillapines, people being stuck in jobs they hate ... by this i mean a general moan about all of these things. if it were personal to them i'd get it but random witterings piss me off.

I mean where is your fecking christmas spirt? does it not depress you to write such drivel.

what makes you think that I have the time to read such drivel, when i have eleventy million things to do before the big day or that this will induce me to pick up the phone so i can hear more of your morose selfindulgent waffling?

AIBU ?

I received a Christmas card with a nice message wishing me & the cat Happy Christmas and asking after me... but not signed.

After some detective work my Mum decided it was from my (usually pissed) uncle in Scotland.

Slightly off thread but why do all Christmas cards say Merry Christmas I like Happy better

Also, notyourmomma hilarious

I like this thread

We don't get any of these. Although we did have a card this year from a neighbour's cat apologising for continually strutting across our garden and tormenting our dog which was a nice gesture I think.

What about this one????
