Bud Grossmann’s Words of the Week for the Week of December 21, 2008 Previously unpublished list. © 2008 by Bud Grossmann. All Rights Reserved.   Christmas Card, 1968 © 1968 by Bud Grossmann CHRISTMAS GREETINGS OF SORTS (an incomplete list of categories) Business wishes, calendars from mortuaries. Tame, plain-jane Happy Holidays. Santa-centered schmaltz. Jesus-focused messages that make me think or pray. Or some of the same that slightly sicken me. Imprinted photo cards untouched by pen, unblotched by ink. Mass-mailed animations delivered via St. Internick. A plate of cookies, unexpected. Good-news-only family newsletters. Brag sheets that exceed a page. Renaissance reproductions of the Virgin and her Child. Messages to which I must reply. Cards or calls I hope in vain to receive. ♦ See a list of other Words of the Week Bud would welcome your thoughts on this Words of the Week (or any others).
