What's the point in wishing happy christmases upon people you do not know exist? There was a card in the post addressed to "Dear Pizza-lover". That's not my name but I opened it anyway. It was a stupid Christmas card from the stupid people at Pizza Hut. I've never even ordered pizza from them?
What do people do with these cards? Do they stand them on their mantlepiece with the rest from friends and family? As if the one from PH actually means something? Is it a nice gesture I shouldn't moan about, or is it a waste of paper.
We have also received a card from our milkman. OUR milkman. As if he belongs to us? This card was indeed signed by the man's own hand, and it is indeed sitting with the rest of our cards, rather than in the recycling bin with the one from Pizza Hut. This is despite the fact that I've never met our milkman. Mark. (Although I might now that I've started waking up in the middle of the night?)is it the fact that Mark kniws we exist since we order our milk from him, whereas Pizza Hut just sends their cards to EVERYONE! Is it because Mark's card was signed and delivered by himself? Should we have given him one back?
One thing's for sure, we will not be sending a Chrstmas card to Pizza Hut.
