Why do some people only contact you on a holiday?

Why do they send a Christmas card, or Easter card and they don't give a rats *** about you the rest of the year!?

Why do some people only contact you on a holiday?
this is typical behavior of the "church" goers. I believe in God but not in church..if you don't want anything to do with me for the rest of the year, then please don't bother me during the holidays...they are hypocrites and think they are doing something good during the holidays...blow them off
Reply:I think they give a rats about you all year long, but everyone just gets so busy in their own lives. The Christmas card or Easter card is just to let you know you are very important to them even though each has their own lives and responsibilities. But what I hate, is when you get all excited because you got a card and then besides the printed saying all they did was sign their name. I always write something in each card. Don't even get me going on the name printed too with out any hand written sentiment!
Reply:*Instead of ranting, we shd thank our stars , that atleast there are some people who sure think of us..... even during the festivities... wn everyone is busy enjoying themselves!!!


Also, if u keep in touch with them during the rest of the year, then they too might reciprocate the gesture !!!! Do try !!!!
Reply:because they will need you only when they need you and they would like to make it seem like they are still major players in your life when they aren't
Reply:cause your not important in their lives now doesn't mean you never wore important to them at one time. Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to love you doesn't mean they didn't love you with all of their heart.
Reply:The Greeting card sender who never calls or drops by is the one who least cares and is generally the one "if near by" will go one further and send over his or her fruit-cake that's been sitting idle in their deep freezer for a year. You see, fruit cake is a hate gift and usually an indicator that if you receive this gift, they don't like you in the first place. So, you wait til Easter and send it right back.
