Black Christmas cards

[Miss Sis]

Well I'm not keen on black anything, really. I much prefer colour for just about everything!

We simply must see your decorations. Are the candles wrapped in silver tinsel?

no pictures of the interior decorations, but the garden has a few festive touches left over

It struck me right away as the "...dark sacred night..." Louis Armstrong sings of in "What A Wonderful World".

Beautiful and tasteful

I had a look and found your card to be both beautiful and tasteful. There's nothing somber about twinkling stars, in my opinion. Beautifully done!

Thought you'd like to know that my mother's wrapping paper this year is 3 different patterns, all of which are silver, black and red.

Thought of you the moment I saw it

Black card update

The cards have been a great sucess, everyone loves them, although i do have a chum in his eighties. who i did not send the card to Lady Meagans words "Too Funereal" ringing in my ears, one pal even said that it would make the most devine wallpaper for her bedroom!

"Is it frightfully poor form to send the same card out again this year?"

No, it's consistent.

No, it's consistent.

Well, it looks like I will be "consistent" this year, too!

I wouldn't send a black Christmas card to anybody. I don't think is appropriate.

[huh]

I watch my mailbox with bated breath, hoping I deserve the coveted BCC from Binkie!

Admittedly Mr. Beaumont, it is not the -best- form to repeat....however..I shall now quote this year's unofficial mantra...."In this economy...'


I myself try to skip a year with the card design repeats, but this year shall be a hodge podge catch as catch can year....using up cards from the prior few years.


p.s. I never said so last year, but they are very class cards, festive without being that red-green overkill one so often sees. A refreshing change of pace that the classy recipient is sure to enjoy.

I Saw another box of 10 today and could not resist buying them

I make a note of what cards I sent to who, so I can avoid doubling up. Last year's brussels sprout recipients get a polar bear this year, and vice versa.

I think the card is rather brilliant. Amidst a sea of cards featuring Santa Claus, cats/dogs, wreaths, decorated pine trees, winter scenes, etc., it will certainly stand out.

That sentence is just dying to be taken out of context!
