There is always the danger when writing a stack of Christmas cards that you may goof up. For example, you're writing to your brother and saying, "Are we going to have to put up with wacky Uncle Fred again this year?" and then realizing you have mixed up the envelopes and sent that one to Uncle Fred.
Some years ago, there were sensors and cameras installed at high traffic locations in southern British Columbia, and these were programmed to record vehicles exceeding the speed limit. The erring driver would receive a ticket in the mail--at that time, 75 bucks--but as a bonus, a photograph of the vehicle blasting through the intersection. We were tempted to have the photo reproduced as a Christmas card, to send to friends with the message "Speeding Our Greetings to You."
We look forward to the cards sent by political leaders, and the one awaited most eagerly this year is the White House card showing Donald Trump's head photo-shopped onto Rocky Balboa's body.
A merry Christmas to all, and especially card-carrying Canada Posties.
