Maybe it's me but I've always been under the impression that when you send someone a card the intent is to let that person or family know you care about them with something that is at least hand signed. I'm sorry if this seems harsh and I really do appreciate all the photo cards I've been getting - I think they are a wonderful way of letting loved ones get a peek into personal moments, however; I have a HUGE issue with people not signing them. This idea of computer signed cards takes the "personal" right out of it. Seriously, what's wrong with taking a few moments out of your busy lives to make a personal note on the back or at the very least, signing your own names! It feels like an afterthought now to receive a card in the mail with not one handwritten thing on it - most are even addressed by a computer! What's the point? In the end, it feels more like an obligation than a nice remembrance. Call me old fashioned but my mama raised me to always make it personal. A short sentence or just sign it with love...but at least SIGN IT! I promise to always make my cards personal even if I decide to do computerized cards - this chick will at least sign my own name!
And that's my two cent thought for the day :)
Signed,
The Anxious Knitter
