This year it appears we have been getting many more Christmas cards then in the past. More Christmas cards rather then gifts. Every year for 5+ years our office would be flooded with gifts of all kinds. Food, liquer, mouse pads, etc... this year it is down a lot. Has anyone else noticed this?

Of course it could be because people think I have been naughty this year and deserve a lump of coal instead.

I think this is indicitive of business being a little slower this year then in the past, and people watching the bottom lines. Just like people having smaller booths, or partnering up with other people to throw parties, etc... etc...


Anyone else notice this?

Mike, alot of people are discovering that downside of trying to prove you ahve a big dick is that it is hard to keep the payments up on all those funhouse mirrors and all those lackeys you have to use to keep those mirrors up in the air.

I am seeing alot more cards this year, alot less "gifts"... a much more corporate atmosphere, if you will.

Alex

I haven't even started on sending out my personal Christmas cards This idea my granola girl sister had of making our own gifts this year REALLY SUCKS! I'm going out tomorrow to see if I can find some "home made" things to buy in some of the country stores around here I just have to make sure they don't look too good - my family knows my limitations!

Mikey, are you coming to Vegas?

MikeFold time definately is a factor - Christmas has snuck up on me... I have been slammed, and have been traveling a lot - including going to Cali to spend Christmas with inlaws...

Fortunately for me I have a world class staff, so it was taken care of...
