WINKLER, MB
A Christmas card failed to deliver the expected level of seasonal joy and/or happiness this week after Larry Barkman, 31, of Winkler discovered it contained no money at all.
“Ugh, what am I even going to do with this thing?” said Barkman. “Stick it to my fridge and wait of the new year?”
Barkman says there’s more to Christmas than just knowing someone’s thinking of you.
“Yeah, it’s called cash,” said Barkman. “I mean I’m all for kind wishes but, come on.”
Barkman says he hasn’t actually read a Christmas card in his life.
“Yeah I don’t really read them,” said Barkman. “But I do count, if you catch my drift.”
Oma Barkman says with an attitude like that it’s no wonder she wrote young Larry out of the will years ago already.
