Husbanded?
My aunt/godmother sent me a Christmas card. It arrived in the mail yesterday, a week after hers was received. Naturally, I am skeptical about whether she would have sent me a card if I had not sent her one, but that is neither here nor there. That is just one of the imperdonerables about which I ponder this time of year.
The real gem of this Christmas card was the envelope. My aunt, who met Swedish Girl earlier this autumn, addressed the card to “Mr. and Mrs. Cool Jesus” (using my real name, of course). Does she know something I don’t know? What if she thinks that we’re really married and never told her? What if she secretly hates me because she thinks I got married without inviting her or even telling her? This is supposed to be the sane side of my family. What if she tells my aunts, uncles, and cousins and they all gang up on me on Christmas? Yet another solid reason to drink freely this Christmas and let the chips fall where they may.

I think you should send a note back telling her that you were registered at Macy’s, and you still have not yet received your gift.

Well played, LTJ. This way the mess-ers become the mess-ies!

Not a bad idea. Did you think that up while walking 10 miles to work today?
