Ok... I got an evite for a holiday party today and I quote the verbiage on the invitation (I couldn't make this up if I tried): "Please join me for a Holiday Open House party on 12/25/2009. Chanukah, Christmas, Kwanzaa, or Winter Solstice, join us in sharing in the spirit of the season. Stop by with your leftovers, unwanted gifts, a bottle of wine, or just good cheer. Come for an hour or come for the evening. Getaway from the family or bring them with you. Join old friends and new in some holiday cheer."
Ok, first off, wouldn't one assume that family would be a priority on Christmas day?? Moving on, the second sentence, while redundant, we will leave it for the time being. However the third sentence "stop by with your leftovers, unwanted gifts, a bottle of wine, or just good cheer" leaves a sour taste in my mouth because it made me throw up a little. Seriously?? You ask people to come over to your house and bring you their leftover food, gifts they don't want or bring you wine?? I can understand if you say you're going to bring gifts to a homeless shelter or orphanage later or dress up in a Santa suit and throw them off a roof - BUT bring them to you personally? UNBELIEVABLE!! Who does that??? And it doesn't end! This invitation is persistent enough to try to convince you to come over with all your loot and STAY with a bunch of people you don't know! How desperate do you think this person is to invite a bunch of random people and their random people over on Christmas day...
All this shows me, while it may very well have been made in good effort and fair standing with the best of intentions - it really illustrates the lack of couth some individuals in this society possess.
