Ironic Holiday Greetings


I sent off our holiday cards and packages today. Some of the cards I sent were from the basement of an estate sale I went to a couple years back. They must be from the early 50’s. In my mind I thought they were very ironic. Not 50’s cool, but 50’s manger scene with lots of angels and lambs and chubby cheeks and scenes of little towns with a ten flag minimum. I tried to only send these delicate, yellowed cards to friends who might get the holiday joke. That the Jewish/non Jewish family is sending these second-hand-super-religious cards is funny. But, I guess when you have to explain it…

Anyway, I like the idea that someday some strange girl might find something of mine (like my forever holiday stamps) that I lost, and actually. She might use it and be laughing at me. But at least someone will be thinking of me and my basement will be cleared out.

I got and I liked it. :) I was proud to be one of the recipients. Thanks for making my day full of Christmas-y goodness.
