Christmas Card Shouldn’t Be Judged By Cost, But On Message Of Love
By Bill Bill HazelipÂ
For the past three days my lovely wife has been pondering about what to by me for Christmas, I assured her, at least I thought she was assured, that I didn’t need anything. And that’s how it went until today. Following a trip to the bank she once again brought up the idea of buying me a Christmas Card. This Christmas Card idea has been repeated hourly for about three days!
So, since we were out, and since she begged me to stop at every strip mall we passed, “can I get a card here!” It was obvious that this request was not going to stop until I let her buy a card. So, we stopped at Hallmark at North Park. She asked the sales lady where are the cards for husbands. I let her pick the card, it was an average looking card, not large or small, the 99 cent variety!
When we went to pay for the card Dorothy said, “I don’t have my check book and I don’t want to part with my twenty dollars, so will pay for the card and I will pay you back later…..it sound like a good idea and would get me out of Hallmarks with only the 99 cent card!
Dot gave the lady the card, the lady said , “oh you are a regular customer” This made me feel good because I could see a price reduction coming. I gave the sales lady a five dollar bill….the sales lady looked at me and said, “that will $8.65 cents!” My reply was, ” what does it do, I cant believe a card would cost this much!”
So, a Christmas Card should not be judged on its cost, but on its message of love….and what it leaves in your billfold!
