I know, I know, I know we are in the first flush of November, but heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey!!!
Five weeks to go, five weeks to go, Tra la la ding a ding dong, hark the festive season is upon us.
Been to Tesco's lately, they are doing it, in every hotel in the land, they're doing it (if they've got their act together) the Christmas menu is up and bookings are being sought. Bing Crosby will assail the airwaves closely followed by Slade (cos' they just have to don't they) M&S will get Twiggy, Myleene and the girls to tempt us advertising soft woolly and everso elegant cashmere jumpers and some delightful lingerie no doubt against a very tastefully decorated back drop with the obligatory log fire burning away whilst outside the french windows (which naturally will also reflect said log fire) the snow will cascade in gentle flurries creating a virgin mantle on a perfectly manicured garden complete with illuminated Christmas tree. The party planners will be out in force hoping that Goldman Sachs (please, oh please let it be meeee!) will select them to organise their Christmas bash in a secluded location preferebly sans journalistic brethren of the Sun newspaper.
And what of it I hear you say, "please get to the point!
Well we don't want to be humbug and we are adopting are best politically correct stance and contemplating the fact that you may want to minimise your carbon footprint (Don't print this unless you really really have to) by acknowledging that:
a) Christmas cards contributes to deforestation.
b) Postie will be on strike this Christmas and anything you do send will reach your intended sometime in February (Gran, use internet banking this year all kids have got an account and frankly they wouldn't know what to do with a postal order)
c) We can devise from the simple to the most utterly eloquent christmas card to cheer up and remember you to friends and family, colleagues (co-workers sounds so american don't you think?) suppliers and clients alike.
So there you have it. And with only ten weeks to go you had better get your skates on and then we will get our skates on and have everything ready in time.
Go on then, give us a call- speak shortly. oh and um... Merry Christmas, there said it for the first time this year!
Sorry about this, no really!
