You ain’t just whistling “Dixie”, brother

Yeah, but we could buck the trend.

Perhaps. But it’s hard for him to not feel that everyone is only interested in him for his money.

At some Hallmark party, of course.

They didn’t invite the homemade card, the glitter is impossible to clean up.

Then there’s the one telling jokes just a bit too loudly; apparently he thinks he’s the only card in the room.

Exclusive club, member carrying cards only.

I personally know several millionaires. I am friendly with some and one I have no respect for whatsoever. I am not impressed with wealth or rank or celebrity.

It bothers me that the card with his back to us is drawn opening to the wrong side.

A party full of cards? Must be hilarious.

Hallmark Christmas Party?

Hey baby, it’s what’s inside that counts!

Grandma gripe…send these to the kids and don’t get any response.

They all think they’re going to get a gift from him.

My grandmother would take a card out of the envelope and first thing she’d turn it over and see what it cost. Then she’d look at the inside.One year I signed it on the back so she’s see my name first.

Who cares, how much is in there?
