Can we all admit that at this point, mailing an actual paper Christmas card to someone via snail mail is a hostile act, meant to induce shame in the recipient?

Which, if you think about it, is a very Christian thing to do, so…. a win-win?

Oh, also- if your nativity figurines have vanished over the years, just buy a shit-ton of Red Rose tea bags. You see, the fine people of Red Rose Tea have (ripping a page out of the CrackerJack handbook) realized that people of ALL ages enjoy tiny toys in their food, so they often include little ceramic animals in their large boxes of tea bags. It’s super fun to sit and meditate on the utter disregard for “scale” our manger scene flaunts. Put on some old Christmas records, sip some cocoa, and ponder the hidden meaning of the holy hippo, which is way smaller than the “ass” and even the lamb.

Please note the oft-neglected Baby Jesus nativity figurines: the goldfish, the turtle, and of course the Christmas kangaroo, all courtesy Red Rose Tea.
