"Cupidity" - extreme greed for material wealth, coupled with stupidity (no need for definition with that one) would make delightful homemade Christmas cards this year. Two podgy putti embracing each other.

With Christmas looming out of the ravages of debt and desperation like the Wreck of the Hesperus, and in retail terms just around the next mince pie aisle, think of all the fun to be had. I wonder if we should scratch the word "prosperous new year" from the message inside the card?
