Charlie Brown Christmas stamps

If I'd known the post office had Charlie Brown Christmas stamps, I wouldn't have used up the Elvis stamps on my cards.

I'm iffy on appropriate cards, too. It's not that I object to actual Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa/Solstice/Holiday cards, but I usually just don't like the options much, so if I'm going to buy some -- as opposed to use the ones charities send -- they're going to be images I like, rather than something that visually says December Holiday.

Sending a photograph card of a bird of prey is totally festive, right?

(Plus specific holiday cards would mean I'd have to have a count of people who celebrate particular holidays in my head, and I don't.)

(And I know it will look like I just sent whatever blank cards I had on hand, but I actually do go out and buy these inappropriate cards for holiday sending.)

Most of my family is Christian, friends tend to be Pagan, and I don't have a huge list I send out to. Plus I just adore the holiday tchotchke so I actually like sending out the cards.

I'm liking sending the cards this year, because instead of just, "Happy _____, [signature]," I'm adding personal comments and sometimes doodles. Which is fun, but means I'm still working on my very small list. :)

I didn't doodle but I did write to almost everyone. It was a pretty small list. ;-)

Yeah, I have a difficult time finding cards I like. I tend to buy in bulk when I do, which is why I haven't had to buy cards for years.

Oh, bird of prey. I think that'd be great card to get. And all you have to do is write something holidayish on the inside and then it's a holiday card. ;-)

Right? That's exactly what I do. :)

Maybe I'll try that next year. I am - finally! - running out of traditional cards.
