Call me traditional(it sounds a lot better old-fashioned), but I don't get the generic, 'Merry Christmas...Hope The Season Brings You Great Joy", mass texed ( what IS the past tense of "text" anyway) messages. Other than an 800 number that would follow, there's not much difference between that and the company trying to sell me stock tips, siding, or the hot short sale property the out of area agent just listed.
Don't get me wrong, I appreciate a simple card, call or email. 'Even if the card is just signed. At least I know the sender put a moment's effort into signing it. But much like the "family update-brag about my fudge receipe-isn't our new dog cute" newsletter insert, I find the text thing kind of annoying.
I agree with you. I don't love the mass text message thing either. I still love a Christmas card that comes in the mail - especially ones with photos on them.
Exactly!! Some things are better left alone.
GOOD MORNING PAT! I got a few of these a few days ago -- and I'm with Stacey - I send cards and love getting them for the holidays - it's the one time of year that most of my friends and family send updated photos and a handwritten note. Texting people on special days seems like the easy way out! -- Gab
