A simple but always appreciated gesture such as sending a holiday card can resonate in a powerful way. Nevertheless, there are some out there who are still wary of the inherent value of the corporate business holiday card. Perhaps as children these were the individuals who only received socks, encyclopedias, and root vegetables as presents, and have thus soured on the entire holiday experience. Maybe these inexplicably terrible presents have so scarred their entire beings that they are now sadly blinded to the obvious good that can come of sending business christmas cards. Whatever their reasons, as a warning to anyone tempted to adhere to the tenets of these anti-card senders, I\u2019ve compiled a list of some of the worst advice ever told about giving business holiday&nbsp;cards. Names have been changed to protect the identities of the unseasonably cold perpetrators of this innately inane advice. Enjoy (if possible)!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kris Krybaby<\/strong> \u2013 \u201cWould I ever give a corporate holiday card? Only if I get one first.\u201d<br \/>\nDr. Sandy Gauze, MD \u2013 \u201cSending out corporate holiday&nbsp;cards can be the start of a worldwide epidemic of paper cuts. The suffering that these holiday cards may induce causing seconds or dare I say possibly minutes of minor acute pain is not worth the risk. Don\u2019t proliferate such misery and agony. Please, trust me, I\u2019m a doctor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rudolph Reignfear<\/strong> \u2013 \u201cThe propagation of corporate business holiday cards will only usher in the end of a fantastic era of sending last minute holiday text messages. The loss of the art of the holiday text message can cause irreparable harm to the very fabric of our society as our fingers will undoubtedly atrophy from underuse. This significant loss of digital muscle mass, coupled with an assured epidemic of paper cuts espoused by renowned physician Dr. Sandy Gauze, will so incapacitate the public at large that civilization as we know it could possibly crumble like the ruins of ancient Greece. Do you really want to risk sparking Armageddon with corporate holiday cards?\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Corporate holiday cards present a wonderful opportunity during the holidays to thank those colleagues and clients who have&hellip;","protected":false},"author":70,"featured_media":8550,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[774,1293,1306,275],"tags":[197,924,965],"class_list":{"0":"post-8549","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-corporate-greeting-cards","8":"category-business-insights","9":"category-corporate-gifting","10":"category-greeting-cards-for-business","11":"tag-business-holiday-cards","12":"tag-advice","13":"tag-cards","14":"cs-entry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 -
