So because I have finished the Christmas shopping way before the usual afternoon of the 24th, I actually pulled out the address book to do a few cards. Then I realized that the internet has destroyed whatever relationship I ever had with the global system of postal services. The "sent to" address lists ends in 1996 when I send out 12 cards. Good Lord. I could do a performance art piece on the current residents of the former homes of people I could have kept up with better. But that would be sad and this is Yule.
So if you know me and want a card, email me at christmas.card.from.alan@gmail.com. And if you don't know me - and are not the sort of person Michael does not let come to the party - send me your address anyway. I will see how the cheap drug store cards are holding out. Who knows? Maybe I will stuff every fifth envelope with Canadian Tire Money.

What is an 'address book'? ;-)

That's about the third time you've refered to 'canadian tire money' in two days. For those of us in the lower 48, what the frag is canadian tire money?

It is like the Hollywood mafia, Tim Hortons, toques, Blue and MacKenzie King's seances with his dog - things Canadian's know about.

You're not going to sell our addresses to some third party, are you? I assume I qualify as non-psycho since I'm such a dullard. Do you want some small item from Budapest? If so, I can't guarantee that it will get there on time.

Treats!!! I'll trade cards for treats any day. Please use the email with complete comfort...except for the fact that it is sitting on a Google server and I have no idea what they use their email databases for.
