a slice of life with Miche
Posting as a means to vent into the void.
I've got loving, caring people in my life and am well supported by them.
Venting posts are temporary and will be removed in time.

You're supposed to sign the cards???
(Kidding. Mostly. But those preprinted photo cards do already have our names on them. I list them in order of age, if not wisdom.)
Hehehe.
My first thought is, does it matter who actually signs the card? It's from the whole family, in theory, right? And also, is there actually some household out there where it ISN'T the wife/mother/alpha female who is signing the cards? Not a single one we received was signed by anyone else, based on what I know of everyone's handwriting.
(Personally, I always sign "Dani and Mark, Tristan and Simon", except for his family I sign his name first.)
Those are some good points Dani.
Mr. Miche is right. I am freak. Most of my male friends are responsible for signing and sending their cards for their friends, typically with personalized notes inside!
It doesn't really matter, in the larger (or even smaller) scheme of things who signs in what order. It's not really something I get my knickers in a knot over. I'm just trying to navigate the terrain between "what I was taught" and "what's fashionable today."
However, if there were an accepted etiquette, I would receive fewer "Christmas letters" that look like this:
When the girls and I (Jane) went out West….
And then I (Jack) bought a new car.
And fewer instances where casual acquaintances write back, referring to me as "weeMiche" because they've misinterpreted our sign-off. (It's happened both ways, when I sign first and when I sign last. It doesn't seem to matter which generation either, mine or my parents.)
