Whilst we are pleased to receive your wishes for a merry Christmas and happy new year, we would prefer these at a more seasonal time. We got your card this morning, which means that you probably wrote it at the weekend, when it was still October! That is altogether too early for such passing on of Yuletide merriment. It nearly seems like you don't wish Christmas cheer upon us, but that you are merely working your way through your Christmas to-do list, which diminishes the kind Christmas wishes somewhat. I am sure that was not your intention.
Might I suggest next year, if you write your cards early (which you clearly will, you've proven yourselves to be the sort), that you put them in a drawer until late November. That way you will have completed that item off your to do list, but your greetings will not receive ridicule and mocking from us at the breakfast table, thus being received in the spirit that was intended.
Kind regards and warm autumnal thoughts,
Tina the Princess
