We used to get some email cards from some acquaintances…while they tended to be somewhat cute, and a bit of a novelty at the time, there’s still a lot to be said about a paper card, especially if it has a personal handwritten message to boot!…( I think it was hallmark that used to say “when you care enough to send the very best”?)

On special occasions for special people, I will always give greeting cards. I can send a text, e-mail or DM any time. On their special days, the people who mean the most to me get cards, and they always will.

I had to remind myself that in this case, a DM is not a dungeon master.

‘Well, you NEVER call anymore!’
