Every year we send Christmas cards <br />And every year I ask myself: <br />Why do we send Xmas regards <br />To our friends who unlike ourselves <br />Hardly ever reciprocate? <br />The cost is not cheap I might add; <br />But my wife always steers me straight. <br />She says, “.you and I should be glad <br />To be blessed with so many friends. <br />A friend always transcends the cost <br />Of a card. Who cares if they send <br />Or not, or if their cards get lost <br />In the mail. The greatest pleasure <br />giving can never be measured.”<br /><br />Albert Ahearn<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/christmas-cards-2/
