Speaker 1 (00:00):
Mark Blazer, Chuck Douglas.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
So Christmas cards you are, I can tell just based
on these last I don't know, a couple of weeks.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
That is a that's something that is I don't know.
Is the word important? Is that a good word? Yes,
it is important.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Yeah, It's just not because of the cards themselves, but
just because I you know, this time of year, the
holiday season is about a tradition and that whole Americana
and snowing, blowing snow, and and just that feeling that
gets in the air and peace on earth.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
And goodwill toward men. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Yeah, and so Christmas cards are a big part of that.
It's what I grew up with. And uh, you know,
I'm I'm loving coming in here every day and taping
more up to my cabinet over there in the office
because it just it makes me feel good.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Chuck displays them just like you would say, at your
home if you're if you're so inclined, on the back
of a door typically is where you'll find them in
most well, at least homes that I have been in
and or am in right now. My wife will tape
them to the door leading out to the garage. But
(01:15):
you can see it from the kitchen, and you'll see
the cards on display there. She'll tape them up there,
and it's every year, and then she will alert me
as to if they're for instance, Stasia sends me. She
always sends something every year, and so she's like, hey,
I sent something to Stasia and her family.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
She'll like alert me. But my wife handles all of that.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
I don't typically get involved with that at all, and
she's really good at that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
I am not. I am. I'll be like, oh, yeah,
you know what. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
If I so, let's say they rolled in and I
was in charge of that, I'd be like, oh, it's nice,
we got a car from all we got. Oh you
know what, I got to send them something. Oh man,
that's a penny over there on the floor. And I
will all of a sudden, oh, and like the twenty
third I'll go.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
I didn't send anybody a cardman.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
So she handles it, because that will happen inevitably every
time with me.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
I'm so bad with that, chuck, I'm so bad.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
I love the tradition of them and the good will
and all that stuff of the holiday season. I love
the fact the ones I opened today made me laugh.
I heard you laughing, I heard Stasia. One of the
cards I got, it was addressed to me on the envelope,
but when I opened it up, it said and Mark
and Stasia and Zach and Marshall and anybody else that's there,
which was very funny. And then one, you know, they
(02:36):
dear Chuck and then in parentheses not Zach, Mary Chrisma.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Oh oh Zach. You made somebody. Man.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
No, not at all. They're being funny and I love
that people passing along smiles and laughter and that kind
of thing instead of, you know, passing poison and being
miserable all the time.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
How I gotta be. And I'm gonna say this, Do
you hold on to all of them? Because my wife may,
but man, I don't. I'll keep I might keep some
birthday cards, like if they come from my parents or
I keep that stuff, But as far as Christmas cards go,
if I was in charge of that, I would not
be holding on to all this.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
I hold no sentimental value to the computer era.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
No, I don't hold onto the cards. After the holidays
are over, they go away. Okay, I just keep you know,
I've got my exl of where who sent cards. Make
sure I return that favor every Christmas as well.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Man you make a production, well.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
If they bothered to take time out of their life insandly.
You know, my handwriting stinks because I type everything, so
my handwriting is terrible. When you get a card for me,
it's going to look like crap. But it took me
from the heart and I think that's what that's what's important.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
It's one of those things that would you here's one
of the questions on this, would you rather get a
holiday email than a mass produced picture of someone in
their kids? So in other words, it shows up. It
is a Christmas card of sorts, but it is more
of a post card in that it's not in an envelope.
(04:03):
It's just been you understand where I'm yeah, would you
rather get the one that's in the envelope and then
you open it and then there's something personal written in it?
Or you know, sometimes you get those where it looks
like a postcard. It shows up and is not even
writing on it. It's just you know, holiday greetings from
(04:23):
you know, the Johnson's or whatever.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
If it's if it's from an individual, I would rather
have it in.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
An arsenal life but with a gift card.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
I'm not going to say no to somebody who does
postcards unless there's no you know, personal thought right in
a little something on a postcard.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Even Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
The only thing I don't like, honestly is the letters.
The Christmas letters where people send you five pages of
everything that has happened in their life. If my knowledge
of your life mattered that much, you would be calling
me during the course of the year. You wouldn't wait
until Christmas and send me a five pager.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Zach attack you were saying.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
With regard to the Christmas cards, you get a lot
of them, or I have a couple.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
I think every family has that. Those people in your
family that you get a card from and when you
open it, a two page letter comes out, and it's
always like, you know, my kids are great. Jenny graduated
from Penn with honors. Of course, Grant's entering tenth grade,
and of course he is Oh he lettered in badminton, wrestling, football, hockey,
speed running. My husband Jerry's taking time off his architecture business.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Shut up, Are you serious?
Speaker 3 (05:29):
No?
Speaker 1 (05:29):
No, I mean I'm saying, shut up. That's actually you've
received stuff like that.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
Yeah, there's a couple in my family that like the like.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
The it's just for them. It's posturing.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
So in other words, it's almost like it's a great
time of year. We want to remind you how empty
your life is.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
How good we are, Yeah, how good we are.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Do you send them anything back? Is the question? No?
A picture of a middle finger.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
Now I'm mad every time I moved to have address.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Yeah, I'm gonna say it.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
As far as like Christmas cards, the fact that so
many are sent out with a lot of people, is
it really that big of a deal, I'm gonna say it.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
It's I'm like, I don't care if I get any.
But then you might be going spoken like a person
who really doesn't get any.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
But we do. We do get some, mostly at the house.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
I receive a few here at the station, and it's
just like, okay, that's the thank you, that's nice, but
I don't I don't actually keep track and then go
I gotta fire off another one to them.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
I gotta make sure they get something. I got to
make sure I send something.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
I think because we're in such close contact with each other,
at least through Facebook and social media, that sometimes you
used to only hear from people during the holidays, and
you would get.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
A card thanks for helping me, here, Zach, I appreciate
it because that is helping me.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
What you're saying it makes sense.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
Actually, yeah, and I think the idea of a Christmas
card might have went away a little bit comparatively before
or the Internet age.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Plus, now you can send all the all the little
not really a meme, but you can send the little.
When you open it, it's like you've received an E
card and you open it and it's I don't know,
a dog but the tail wagging and you know, some
sort of you know.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
You and eight hundred other people, at the click of
a mouse have received an E card.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
See I hate that. That's impersonal.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Yeah, even though they took four seconds out of their
life to try.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
To figure This is why I like the actual Christmas cards.
And sadly, you know, as many as you see hanging
on the cabinet across the hall at my house. Two two.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
That's that's friends, family, people who know me too, and
here people who don't Radio World. The people who don't
know me like me enough to send me Christmas cards.
The people who do know me, Oh, they know better.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
But they're not supposed to.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
I guess not.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
I don't know, man.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Maybe I'm just not worthy of their ink and their
posting stamp.
