To Happy 9/11 Cards
Dear Happy 9/11 Cards,
Where oh where would I be without you?
I’ve always relied on the likes of Hallmark and American Greetings to convey my innermost thoughts. Like that card with a cartoon frog that says, “Hope you have a Hoppy Birthday!” That captures the essence of my sentiments better than anything else could. I’ve never been especially eloquent, so greeting cards have always been a beloved shorthand to express my feelings.
But there’s always been a gap, a void - maybe even a huge hole in the ground? - in other lines of greeting cards. How can I express my feelings about September 11th? A holiday without a card? The very thought seems absurd, but there you have it. No cheesy poems, no anthropomorphic cartoon characters - heck, not even a Ziggy comic! What could I do?
Then, you come along with cards that say exactly what I’ve been thinking: “Happy 9/11!” Why not? We wish people a Happy 4th of July - and who knows how many people died then? We wish people a Happy Halloween, even though razors in candy apples make it the scariest holiday ever. We even wish people a Happy Easter, even though it commemorates the death of Mel Gibson.
So I’m with you, Happy 9/11 Cards, and I’m sending a card to everyone I know - and have great Pearl Harbor Day too!

Stop being so sensitive, Nanc. People named Nanc are always so sensitive… and lame.

Dude! If 9/11 gets cards, then what next?? Do we need a card for National Dog Lover Appreciation Day? Or End the Genocide in Sudan Day? Well, we probably already have cards for those - but still…
