I ignore them and give a whopper of a cheque to the Mustard Seed Society at Christmas, the money I would have spent on Christmas cards to clients.
Then I include a note in a newsletter to said clients saying I've done exactly that.
So far, no one has called me up saying they would have rather had a Christmas Card.

What a great idea; I hate doing christmas cards every year and it is much easier to cut a cheque and mail it in.
I ignore homeless people completely. I used to live on 17th, and you couldn't go 10 feet without being hounded for smokes or change. I've actually developed quite the headfake sidestep to get around all the buskers/squeegie kids/crazy cat throwing old ladies that are commonly found around the DT core.
Anyone know what happened to Cal? He was the old dude with no teeth that used to hang around the Ship about 8 years ago. He actually sat down and had a beer with me and a group of friends at the Night Gallery when he was sorta coherent, and listened to some of the crazy war stories he had. It was all fun and games until he got really liquored and pulled a 3 week old cigarette butt out of his pocket and tried to smoke it.
