Your Christmas card on bookofjoe

I just had a great idea.

I'm gonna solicit, right here and now, Christmas cards.

Because I've noted that, over the years, I get very few from people, as opposed to the guy who brings me fresh roast coffee beans weekly, the newspaper delivery men, my insurance agents (car, home, and medical), lawyers I've worked with, the hospital where I occasionally pass gas, and the like.

Perhaps that's because I've never sent Christmas cards, and people got tired of sending and never receiving.

Who knows and, really, who cares?

I guess I do to be begging like this.

I mean, let's call a spade a spade.

So here's how it's gonna go down:

1) You send me a Christmas card

2) I put it up on my fireplace mantle

3) When all three that I receive (or more, who knows?) are up, I take a picture of the cards (not, not the inside with your name, just the front, so you'll never have to be unmasked)

4) I post the picture here on bookofjoe after the holidays with a big "Mwah"-type thank-you

I like it.

Oh, yeah, you'll need my address:

Joe Stirt
2809 Magnolia Drive
Charlottesville, Virginia 22901
U.S.A.

The nice thing about living in a small town in the middle of central Virginia is I don't really worry too much that someone's gonna come for me.

Oh, one other thing: if you send a self-addressed envelope (not stamped: I can afford the postage, thank you very much), I'll send you something back.

Cool, huh?

And wait a moment before you snicker: might be the best offer you get all day.
