Time to Cut the Cord?

IN THE NEWS: According to FoxNews.com, GROSSE POINTE PARK, Mich. — Sister Kathy Avery won't put up with swearing on the playground at her school, and she's not above repeating the offending language to make sure everyone understands which words she won't tolerate. The principal of St. Clare of Montefalco Catholic School had students stay after a Mass last month and informed the fifth- through eighth-graders that she has a zero-tolerance policy for cursing. Just in case anyone wasn't sure what she was talking about, Avery read off a list of the very words and phrases that she was banning.
"It got a little quiet in church" during her talk, she told the Detroit Free Press."

Sorry to go on and on about Christmas cards, but the hubby has been on my case about them again. He's been analyzing my list, wondering why I'm sending cards to people we've had no contact with throughout the whole entire year. Huh. The nerve. Well, I'll tell you, my answer to that is...

I. Don't. Know.

I just don't know. Our Christmas card list is pretty sad, now that I look at it. It's become an ever growing list of hanger-ons: relatives I haven't spoken to since my wedding, friends I haven't seen in over ten years, and my boss from eight years ago. Why? WHY???

Why haven't I pruned our Christmas card list up this point? Memories? The hope I'll meet up with this person again or at the very least get an e-mail? Beats me. It's kind of silly when you think about it. Basically, the cards I've sent out all these years have become a pathetic message of "Hi. Yes, we're still alive. I see you are too. That's nice. Carry on. Oh, and Merry Christmas."

So I will resist sending certain cards out. I've already set them aside. They look so lonely. But I guess it's time to be strong and cut the proverbial cord. Sorry, people. Look on the bright side. If you're reading this, then we've obviously had contact and therefore you probably aren't getting cut.

Probably.
