#Greeting Card

A holiday card is a ceremonial sheet draped in hypocrisy only at year-end, ‘renewing’ past friendships. The sender feigns sincerity while the recipient receives a package of wry smiles and guilt in equal measure. The more one pays postage and expends effort, the more the value of friendship crumbles noisily. The lavish design on the surface is mere makeup to conceal emotional distance; the true purpose is a mutual yearly affirmation disguised as self-hypnosis.
