\nan e-card today from someone who I barely know that said how much I mean to
\nthem (and everyone else they sent this to in a mass e-card “I care about you
\nblowout”)<\/span><\/p>\n
\nknow around the Christmas season, nothing warms my heart and says, “I’m lazy
\nand insincere” like an e-card.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nthere was the convenience of faking “I’m thinking of you” by the use of the electronic,
\nimpersonal, and insincere e-card there was the Hallmark card. Hallmark cards
\nusually came from people you actually knew who more than likely actually DO
\ncare for you.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nwe have forgotten in society was the Hallmark card was the beginning of ‘I’m
\ntoo busy to write my own words but maybe this will make up for it” lazy man’s
\nway to connect during special holiday\/birthday times.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nsee my friends there was a time around Christmas, birthdays, Thanksgiving et al
\nwhen people actually took the time and intellectual\/emotionally driven effort,
\nto get out a quill and a bottle of handmade ink and contemplate a personal
\ngreeting that was then sent to the loved one or friend.<\/span><\/p>\n
\noften included not only a personal reflection but also maybe a line from a poem
\nor a Bible verse. Sometimes rose pedals were sprinkled in the envelope if it
\nwas a love letter, or even a ribbon or a lock of hair.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nwere much more articulate of course because they didn’t have the option of the
\ninternet providing a “humorous” clip from someone getting stuck on the toilet,
\nor a “funny” cartoon of Osama Bin Laden you pass along to prove you were
\nthinking of them.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nthis Christmas season you may want to contemplate writing a personal note to
\nyour loved ones that actually come from your hand and your heart. Not only will
\nit be received as special from the receiver but it will also weed out for who
\nyou wouldn’t spend the time and energy actually crafting an personal note. <\/span><\/p>\n
\nthey never really deserved a card all along. Of course if you don’t want to
\nappear rude, you can always send an e-card.<\/span><\/p>\n
