Yeah, but who else is selling Star Trek ornaments? ;) (I'm collecting
those.... That's my biggest reason for going into a Hallmark Store at
any point. I've got mine for this year, so unless I decide to get Sarah
the next Winnie-the-Pooh ornament in the series I've been giving her
since she was born, that may be it for the year.)
I don't worry about who made the card. In fact, I find
homemade-on-the-computer cards to be the best. (But someone doesn't
share that sentiment - I remember reading a letter to Dear Abby where
someone's great-aunt or grandmother or something like that practically
wanted to disown him because he'd put time into making a very nice
personalized card for her rather than spending money on a store-bought
card. I found that attitude to be *extremely* tacky.)
