Thank You Card Blues

"What's with those ingrates? It's been almost two months and still no "Thank You" card. What are they so busy doing that they can't write a decent "Thank You" to all the people that gave them gifts. The least they could do is write me a thank you, I did give them a check for 18 dollars."

Yes. I know. You have a very valid point. We should be working on Thank You cards at this point. The truth of the matter is that Thank You cards are just one of those things, you know? It's not like we are ungrateful, we really appreciate all the gifts that were given to us. The fact of the matter is that it seems very daunting, the prospect of writing so many cards over and over and over again. It just seems so so so like knocking my head against the wall.

Thank You

For my Bar Mitzvah I had my parents standing over me making sure they eventually got done. Now though, both me and my wife fell the same way; OY Vey, so many cards to write.

I called my parents the other day, and they were so full of helpful advice, " Just do a few cards a day, eventually you guys will get it done."

MMMMM.... Does anyone know a marketing company that specializes in personal thank you cards. I wonder if such a service would cost more than all the gifts?
