Blame The Economy

That's what we're doing. No Christmas cards are going out this year. Not because we're lazy, forgetful, or procrastinators. Nope, it's the economy. Yah, that's the ticket.

The wife wonders why we lose touch with our friends so much. We both love our friends and love to be included in things, but I don't think she grasps the idea that things should be reciprocal. And I'm tired of being the girl and nagging her to get things like this done.

I know that sounds bad, but it is usually me that gets these things out every year. And no one says it's the wife's job to do. I just feel bad that we're not.

I had a stack of free cards to send from people like American Cancer Society, Feed the Children, the Little Lighthouse, and other charity groups asking for my donation in exchange for these cards all ready to go too!

Hey, I didn't say they were going to be special or personalized!

It's the thought that counts, so get off my back! Blame the Economy!

Merry Christmas! (I'll be in the dog house probably until New Year's if you're trying to reach me)

Merry Christmas!

I lost touch with your wife in 1990until 2001. Then lost touch with you all less than a year later and now I am hanging on for dear life. I just can't quit ya!

But thanks for this post since now I can blame HER for losing touch and not me.
