If you were expecting a Christmas card from me, this will go a long way to explaining why you haven’t (yet):
Yes, that’s a stack of my still-unfinished cards. I feel like I jinxed myself by ordering them Thanksgiving weekend. I had them for so long I felt like I needed to write a personal message on each of them, since I had the time. Then, rather than mailing the ones I finished, I decided to wait until they were all done and send them all at once. So now, half the people on my list will be getting clearly-late Christmas greetings and the other half will be getting the (slightly) more timely New Year’s greetings.
Altogether, a very lame effort on my part.
Better late than never! It’s always good to hear from a friend.
Ah well… When it’s the only one in a recipient’s mailbox, it gets individual attention! Go for it!!
I can totally relate. I had good intentions this year, but procrastinated and rushed a mass mailing of non-personalized pic cards of the kids in lame envelopes. I patted myself on the back for handwriting the addresses instead of using mailing labels. The holiday spirit alive and well. 🙂
Draw a heart on them and call them Valentines Day cards.
Ditto missblissindc!!!
A handwriteen note?!$#* WOW!!! You so have to send them, even if they don’t arrive until Easter. And this is *NOT* a jab. I love getting anything handwritten, a tradition that is quickly fading with the demise of snail mail, word-processing programs and nice affordable printers (also not a slam, as I count on our computer for our Christmas letter). Plus the pictures are a bonus. Every year, I get at least one “Christmas” card mid-February. Always. And I love it! Shows you are human and the holidays got away from you, but that you still care enough about the recipients to send it.
Our last batch of Christmas cards is going out today. I don’t think you’re lame at all!
