Season's Greetings

The only thing constant in life is change, as they say. Traditional greeting cards have had their day, and the latest trend is an electronic variety. You can go to a special website where they will send out an animated greeting card on your behalf for a moderate cost. In other words, you hire some total stranger to send a friend their version of what you would like to say to that distant friend. How personal is that? 

So I like to make my own. There are a couple of ways you can go - if you have a nice graphics editing program and a pen tablet, or your computer is capable of that job itself, then you can make your own 'by hand' as it were; the other way being as above, wherein I found a nice picture of a peaceful pastoral scene, and added my own caption.

The cheapskate's basic all-purpose generic greeting with minimal personalization, in other words. So, to everyone out there in the nebulous indistinctness of cyberspace, I wish you all the very best of this festive season, whatever you choose to call it.
