Christmas Gifts For Boyfriends
 
i don't know the politically correct answer. Is it good taste or very poor taste to send a "Christmas/Chanukah" card to a blind person Boyfriends?
 
 
-I don't think it is in bad taste. I think it would be appreciated just as much as if someone sent one to you!!! People that have blindness have all sorts of tools available to them to help them read not only their mail(email) but any sort of written material! -How about looking at it this way. If they did not have a visual impairment (or any other kind of imapairment), would you have sent them a card? The answer is probably yes. In which case you will have done the right thing to send them one. If the card had a picture which used disability humour aimed at visually impaired people, and you think they would not appreciate this type of humour then that would be different. I am sure the person will have some mechanism / software etc. by which to 'read' the text or see the picture. - I know. But not sure the device able to read my handwriting has been invented yet (-; So I guess, Craig, that one thing you'll have to consider, is that the card might be read aloud to the person by somebody else - it might even be a relative. So don't put too much embarrasing stuff in writing (at least TRY, will you?:) - but then this is always a consideration with an open postcard, isn't it? *S* - thinking of a few embarrasing cards and envelopes I've recieved over time (-; BTW - there's also these musical cards. And another option is tapes - used to sell short ones with envelopes at the post office once upon a time - my kids used them for greatings to grandparents before they could write. Nope - I can't think of a single reason for not sending anything! (But then I might be in very bad taste - often buying gifts for boyfriend, that he can't use independantly).
