Babies on Christmas Cards
Dear Marrieds with Children,
Why do you insist on putting your kids on your Christmas cards? I get a guilt trip every time I try to throw it away. But, I don’t want your big sparkly snowflake in my photo album either. I DON’T WANT TO THROW YOUR BABIES AWAY! (But I don’t want pictures of them all Christmas-card sized either.) I am not their granny or their auntie. I do not need to have seasonal photos, maybe just one reasonable one a year.
Please, next year, send me a normal card with a smallish photo. Or, you could just send a card and invite me over for dinner and I can then check out the kid in person for myself.

Dear Jaime,
I’m probably not one of the people who sent you an Xmas card with my kid on it. But if I did, please don’t feel bad about throwing it out! It’s just a piece of paper with pretty colors on it. The real thing is what counts, and it is so much better.
Signed,
Grumblecake
P.S. You’re invited over for dinner!

Haha thanks! I just wonder if my friends are as nice as you are about throwing away babies on Christmas cards? hmm…
