.....the annual Christmas card selection/build nightmare??? Wife INSISTS we hafta have a card.. Fine. She's a ".1" on a scale of 1-10 when it comes to computer use.. She uses Shutter-fly (actually a good site).. BUT - and this is where I come in... I gotta help her 'find' the damn pics, then help her figger out a card, then help move the damn pics over to the card...and then yada yada yada... Grrrrr.
Me? I'd just buy a box of generics and I'm DONE...
Rant over..

Do not understand. In 38 years of marriage, Momma, nor I have ever purchased a Christmas card. If I have something to say, I will drive over to their house.
People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.

Just be grateful that God isn't Mexican. We'd be going through this crap 8 times a year.

My Brother from another mother.
I got all the daughters to agree with me no Christmas family picture this year.
Thought I was off the hook.
Nope
Got help the wife go through thousands of pictures for a retro card. Then I gotta help her down load them to Costcos picture site to order cards.
Ugh.

I miss Christmas cards a lot. They remind me of when America was still America.

I remember people running twine across rooms or around hearths to hang all the cards they got.

Take executive control.
Start a theme. Like a different ugly Xmas sweater every year for the photo.
Feed her a bunch of rumballs or liquor laced bonbons before you suggest the idea..
So she is pliable to your suggestions.
Happy holidaze!

I always luck out, my wife of 45 yrs just buys cards and sends them. I am never aware of any of it,If it makes her happy Great. She keeps me happy and allows my firearm purchase to go on so I am content with things she does

No way our act is together enough to send out a card. Not only "designing" the card but keeping track of addresses is daunting.

I remember the 1st year of marriage. The wife sent out 8 billion cards and probably received that many. 1st year after divorce, I got a card from my sister.
I guess Jesus is the reason for the season.

Be sure to listen to Christmas carols as you write the cards!

Progressives are the most open minded, tolerant, and inclusive people on the planet, as long as you agree with everything they say, and do exactly as you're told.
