A budding tradition...

[alexpgp]

I am not a big fan of holiday greeting cards, mostly as a side effect of having seen the process viewed, and viewing it myself, as a duty—which sort of kills the whole "hail -the-season-thinking-of-you" subtext—heavily leavened with guidelines for adding and dropping people from one's card list that resemble the retaliatory style in which I've seen some LJers maintain their friends lists.

Last year, I got around to opening some corporate cards—mostly cards from agencies I do work with—about two weeks into the New Year...and discovered that one of my clients likes to send a check for all outstanding invoices along with the card!

The tradition continued today, as I lost no time at all in opening the envelope.

My bank account and I are on speaking terms again.

Cheers...

I didn't manage to send out any cards this year at all... *sigh*. Despite getting a wad of 'business branded' cards last year for a few peanuts at Vista print.

Didn't get any cards from anyone either, just e-cards. I wonder if the postmen are happy that people are sending out less real mail these days.

P.S. A cheque is a nice touch! Would be even nicer if it was a bonus and not outstanding moneys ;)

P.P.S. I can't remember when I've seen a real cheque. At least 10 years ago. Are they still commonly used in the US?
