what would you want on your holiday card?

[sashash]

(make that an End of the Year Thank You card)

something witty? something vulgar? intense? simple? well-wishing and that's it?

i'm working on the DHP holiday card (for our customers) and i'm kinda drawing a blank.

An intensely vulgar witticism of course.

[sashash]

well, you'll have to buy a book to get one. but when you do... you have my word.

i don't like the front at all. it's not holidayish in any way, and it seems that the boobish reference is backwards. if I got it in the mail, I probably wouldn't turn it over to see the back.

[sashash]

hm... holiday-ish... i'll have to think on it. i don't mean consider what you said, i mean think about how to make something holiday-ish.

part of my motivation for resisting the holiday theme is that we have to print a huge minimum and i'd like to be able to use them for other purposes. of course, if you bought a book from us and, on receiving the card, wouldn't turn it over, that's no good. no good at all.

this is the copy on the inside, next to the "Dear..." :

We at Destructible Heart wanted to say thanks for a great year. Without your generous patronage, our poets would still be broke.

well, you said it was a holiday card. so i would assume that it had something to do with the holidays.

what is the purpose of the mailing?

[psyches_task]

this might be something i'm overlooking....but what the hell... um. will there be a reference to the holidays/good wishes/thank you's, etc?

[sashash]

yes, inside!

I got an early Christmas card tonight that had a picture of a little brown animal on the front wearing a Santa hat with grass growing out of its back. On the inside the card read: "Here's to wishing you a little holiday Chia." (*cough cough* In Skaatlind Yaahd.)

I am still laughing.

[sashash]

oh my god.

yes.
