Dodged a bullet.

Christmas.

Christmastime is the season that should remind us that our savior is a dark-skinned Arab refugee.

He was impoverished, vilified by the religious leaders, society, and the ruling government.

He was an ethnic minority who was arrested, incarcerated, and given the death penalty.

This is who Jesus is, God incarnate.

Bah. Humbug!

Before Facebook I used to get a kick out of sending Christmas cards. I didn’t always address them by hand by I always wrote at least a few lines and included a photo collage because everyone wanted to see the kids . Two years ago I realized that we’d posted most of the good family photos on Facebook and few of the cards we received had been touched by human hands. So I just stopped. I don’t regret it but I do have pangs of guilt when I open the mailbox and see the cards that others have sent to me. I feel like I’m not holding up my end of the bargain or that those who are sending cards will think we no longer care about them. That’s not true of course, it’s just that I don’t see the point anymore.

My parents and sister send intentionally humorous Christmas letters and a few others send letters that unintentionally entertaining. There’s one in particular that we look forward to every year - it’s single-spaced, front and back and overflowing with the amazing accomplishments of their kids.

I’ve been in my industry a long time so I receive holiday notes at work too. It wasn’t too long ago that an exec admin would solicit suggested recipients for a holiday card signed by the CEO and other execs. A few years ago the paper cards were deemed wasteful and replaced with festive, often animated emails, occasionally mentioning a donation to a charity. Call me a curmudgeon, but an automated address list-mail merge is just more junk mail in my inbox. The fact that it includes a gif of a wreathe and falling snow doesn’t change that.

I have one or two business contacts who send edibles (cookies, crackers, chocolate, etc.). Now THOSE are memorable, professional holiday gifts. Some of them even make it home!

It's kind of funny you post this as this has been a topic at work. As a print company we design our own Christmas cards and mail them out to the top 100 clients and 25 that we have good relationships with. However, if you stop by our shop you get goodies. My boss is considering doing away with the cards and just handing out the goodies as they get talked about more than the cards, but I suppose that these are serving two different demographics (employers get the cards vs the lower employees who are doing pickups get the treats). This year we are giving out white chocolate covered pretzels or flavored pretzels or pickles; in the past we have given away salsa, pepper jelly, poinsettias.

I have never heard of or seen a Christmas letter until I had to help my current boss with his. He doesn't do them as regularly now that his kids are out of the house, but he did one this year. It is one page, one side, and one knock knock joke per family member that he is talking about.

Personally, I love getting cards, but don't like that some are just an obligation on a list. I never send out cards but I always mean to. Maybe next year I will just send random cards each month as I think of people instead of waiting till the busiest time of year and failing.
