Spelling, for one.

O U meant "TEACH KIDS."

O U sure you weren't thinking of two other letters?

Well, for starters, 4 letters.

The 91-year-old was alerted by a woman after she saw him "placing our Tommy?s third birthday card" in the dog waste bin instead of the postbox across the street.

Wow.  Two years.  That's probably almost £20 in birthday card money down the drain.

Dear Big Black Dude,

Your letter has opened my eyes to my terrible behavior.  I appreciate your candor.  In the future, I will try to not act with either bigotry or ignorance.

My Sincere Apologies,
Your Caucasian Neighbor

P.S.  What is your type so I can warn those girls…

Not that you'd expect the guy who hangs giant letter for a living to be a master of typography, but you think with only seven letters and a star in the store's name, they'd be pretty strict about quality control on this issue.

I'm actually not shocked though.  Seems like the kind of mistake I'd make, getting a letter upside-down.  All the other guys who hang these signs should thank the guy who made this error so they don't make it themselves in the future.

What do you think the odds are that they noticed afterward and were just like, "Screw it.  You know how heavy them things is?"

Boston.com reports on the decline in the Christmas card, saying "Season?s greeting cards spread a bit thin this year."

?We see a 10 to 15 percent decline in the overall volume of mailed paper greeting cards this year,?? said Neil Hendry, of Datamonitor, a New York-based retail analysis firm. ?There are two principle reasons: technology and the economy.??

Pardon my Scrooge-itude, but I say good riddance.

You know what Christmas cards are?  Garbage.  Each year people are mailing stacks of garbage to all their friends and relatives.

In the old days, a letter was necessary to send information, maybe tell people what you've been up to.  A Christmas card still tells people what you've been up to, only now, what you've been up to is becoming a douche bag.

Because instead of sending an email, you are sending paper waste and forcing your friends to dispose of it for you.

God, who some people believe created Christmas by the way, has given us the gift of the Internet to spread holiday cheer in a far more environmentally friendly and economically savvy manner.

Just go with it, people!

As long as you don't stoop this low:

Beth Charbonneau…reluctantly swapped a holiday greetings model dating back to the 1800s for this four-sentence posting on Facebook: ?Dear Everyone, Please consider this your holiday card for the year. Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Blessed Yule, and so on. Sorry to be a lame friend but, really, I?m just not Superwoman. I admit defeat on holiday cards.??

No, Beth, you are not Superwoman, but you do appear to be a self-righteous, self-centered jerk.

For you, I'll send a stack of Christmas card that you have to throw out.  That seems like a proper punishment.
