What is the point of Christmas cards?

[AznAnarchy99]

Every year I get a ton of cards from my co-workers with pictures of their kids/family. Its kinda creepy if I post it up on my wall. What else are you supposed to do with it besides say "oh that's nice" and then trash them?

If they're given at work, hang them at work. If at home, hang them til Xmas is over, then burn in your stove for heat.

From coworkers I'll leave them on my desk for a few days opened then toss them in my recycle basket and cover them. From relatives, they stay on my fridge till the next year. Drives me nuts, but the wife likes them up.

I'm in the same boat, and nearly every time I would open the fridge, a couple of them would fall off. Drives me absolutely insane.

Imagine how happy I was when we discovered that magnets won't stick to the front of our new fridge.

If they sent them themselves, appreciate that people like you. Otherwise...dart practice.

Perhaps you should enjoy the fact that someone thinks highly enough of you to feel compelled to wish you well and share a part of their personal life with you.

it's a thing that chicks do to try and one up each other every year, just like they try to do in every day of their life with other things such as purses and clothes.

Ha, not mine. "Opens card, reads card, tosses card in the trash."

That reminds me of my old roommate...people would say "good morning" when we left in the morning and he'd say "why do people even say that" after they left. "I already know it's morning! And maybe today is not a good one for me!" 110% serious about it too

Well, you're supposed to take all the cards see, now bear with me here. Soak them in water. Let it drain and dry. Now cram them all up your ass.

Are you kidding me?! This is ATOT, no one gives a flying fuck.

My sister and I send out a ridiculous Christmas card to all of our friends every year. While I agree the typical, serious Christmas card is a waste, we try to at least make people laugh. For example this year, we photoshopped our drunken/stupid/not-normal faces to Mount Rushmore and renamed 'Rushmore' with a play on our last name. The front reads "Merry Christmas Ya Filthy Animal!" and the back "...And A Happy New Year!" with a picture of Kevin giving a shit eating grin. It usually goes over pretty well.

John, did you ever consider that that might just be you?

Yet another "I'm an aspie and don't understand social interaction thread".

We have FB to see your kids, we don't need these anymore.

This. It just seems like a waste of paper now. Unless you put something inside the card.....

Sending cards is conspiracy created by Hallmark and the US Post Office.

 

[FeuerFrei]

I file each one away, alphabetically, in a special binder. Then lock it away safely in a safe.

Perfect. Can I get your address, so I can add you to my card list?

Seems legit.

But how do you keep the safe safe?

They are nice to include with tidings of "Thinking of you on this Christmas" enclosed with severed body parts or splooge towels.
