more than irritated actually. Confused

It is from a English speaking family living out of the UK, the children are older teens. They have turbulent relationship with each other.

Their 'Christmas' card shows a photo of the 4 of them, all smiling grimacing. The words inside are printed and are not in English. It ends with their names, not 'love from' or similar. Nothing has been added by hand.

I really want to respond by sending them a text in some language they won't understand, but DH thinks that is a step too far. Hmm

It's actually Elvish. It says "Get a grip love, and open the wine!"

Yes, it's a language they don't use, it won't be an error by the company as I know they wouldn't accept that.

YANBU to think that they could have written something themselves, and to think that if you only care about someone enough to send them a totally pre-printed card, you may as well save the stamp.

I am confused I feel like my head is about to explode ,so a foreign family sent out cards in another foreign language, i think they just don't like you and probably swearing in that language Grin
