Last year is the first year that I didn’t send out Christmas cards. I felt bad when I started receiving them. Don’t know if I’ll send out this year or not....so much to do all the time! We take on so much during Christmas that we don’t have time to truly enjoy the season and remind ourselves what its all about!
One recent year, I felt like not sending cards. Mostly I didn’t want to sit for several nights and do all the work by myself, again. If my husband ever helped it would be fun, but after 25 years, I get tired of doing everything alone.
So what I did that year was as every card got here, I sent a reply card the next day. That way I never spent lots of time “doing the cards” all at once. I also didn’t keep track of who I sent them too. I just had the “go with the flow” attitude and it worked out nice. I think I’ll just do the same this year. One rule, cards that get here before Dec.1st, will not be reciprocated until after Dec.1st. LOL. Hey I’ve got standards to uphold! (kidding, but not kidding, I won’t send any until after the first.).
