Beating the Holiday Rush
For those of you who work in a corporate environment, you are no doubt aware of the annual business holiday cards that companies send to each other every year. Generic 'seasons greetings' for the most part, so as not to offend anyone, with the occasional secular type thing tossed in.
This is the time of year when companies start ordering their holiday cards, and many greeting card printers will try to encourage a company to get theirs done and out the door by Thanksgiving, so your company won't be lost in the avalanche of company holiday cards.
Well, In what, to me, is the most brilliant marketing move ever, today we received a corporate Halloween card.
Talk about beating the rush. And one can avoid all the worrying about religious motifs.
Not only that, the cover of this card looks like it was created by Van Gogh on a really bad day. Suitably creepy and evocative.
Frankly I think the scariest costume is the clown one
The inside of the card treats us to a brief history of Halloween, as well:
At any rate, this amused me greatly, and wanted to share.

What a clever way around wishing a Happy Samhain! The person who thought of this one must have been a pagan.

But hey, if Charlie got off school for Yom Kippur, and I get off of work for Christmas (and New Years), then Hallowe'en cards are just another representation of an ancient (though sometimes practised by wannabe goths) and noble religion.
