Start as you mean to go on

Please let the year not follow this pattern.  I am now awaiting the delivery of 450 Christmas Cards at an extremely good price.  I bid for them on ebay under the influence of stupidity, I have no excuse.  Not even the extremely reasonable price including delivery for very good quality.  I just have no idea where I will even store them.  I only use about twenty a year.  Father and bear will use a few, but even so.

Mind you, it could be worse.  I nearly ended up with 700.

Happy Christmas 2014, 2015, 2016...
