"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?

I blame it all on "Beckham bling", eggy. Everyone wanted to live like the dynamic duo and were encouraged to think they could, by all those naff house-in-the-sun/country property under the hammer I made 50 K last year just by sittin' on me butt eating kettle chips n' gulping Stella - type progs.
This year I expect to receive some folded scraps of recycled cardboard with glitter glue-stickered on c/w fast felt tip scrawls along the lines of...
" I'm almost broke and times is hard - here's your f***ing christmas card "
Still. It's the thought that counts.
