A NON-INVITATION INVITATION ——— by Steve Nadis
The holiday season is upon us. I know this for a fact because a fast-moving blizzard just dumped 10 inches of snow on my driveway. It’s not my driveway, actually. It belongs to my neighbor (almost 94); I’m just the lucky guy who gets to shovel it. But getting back to what I was saying, I know the holiday season is upon us because I’ve just received my first “non-invitation” to a holiday party this year. Some friends of mine, who’ve hosted a New Year’s party for many years running, were not able to do so this time. (Something about a puppy…) So instead we were informed that there would not be a party this year.
I like this idea so much, I can’t wait to start sending out non-invitations myself. In fact, I’m certain that before long, non-invitations will become more popular than proper invitations.
Have you received one yet? Don’t be dismayed if you do. Think of it, instead, as a badge of honor. A rite of passage. Your first fledgeling step into the realm of high society.

Enjoy it while it lasts. By this time next year, everybody will be doing it and it will lose its cachet. An entire industry will spring up. Hallmark will be publishing non-invitation invitations. Martha Stewart will do entire shows on non-invitations. There will be websites, merchandise tie-ins, ring-tones,and don”t forget the non-invitations in Happy Meals (Collect Them All!).
I predict that you are not only right (once again) but correct (in the political and apolitical senses), if that makes any sense.
I”m too sensitive for a noninvitation. I hope I don”t receive one.
I promise not to send you one, though I will say I”m not having a New Year’’s party this year.
Maybe they are sending fake non-invites to people they don”t want to show up to the party they are still secretly throwing.
You have a dark, twisted, diabolical mind, Doc. I love it.
