'Tis the Season

This is the time of year when vendors send us cards (print or the e version), cookies, candy, and other sorts of goodies.  This week, I received a very appropos card from one of my vendors.  It actually was a box of candy accompanied by a card --  a card that you had to put together yourself.  It was a cut out and came with instructions.  If you followed the itty bitty instructions, your card would turn into a Christmas tree! 

Now, who in the world would send a card that you had to put together?

I just sort of found it funny that the culpret was Innovative Interfaces.  I guess if I wanted a card already put together, I would have to pay for the add on.  (No, I am not a scrooge, but I couldn't resist.)

On a more serious note, I was surprised that they sent me a Christmas tree without knowing if I even celebrated Christmas.  I did think the sentiment should have been a bit more generic - like: Happy 2011!  In honor of the new year, we are going to give you a 15% customer loyalty discount!  (Whoops!  There I go again.)

Really?  You sent me a card that I had to put together? (VS)
