I still write thank you notes and "thinking of you" cards.

There is just something about sending or receiving a real card instead of an email or note on Facebook. Mine are not always sent by Christmas--sometimes they are not even Christmas, but thinking-of-you cards.<br /><br />Most people have become so busy, I think they understand if you don't send out cards Greyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16498318407248066875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2987776780341574215.post-68843747604760161682012-11-27T19:37:08.724-06:002012-11-27T19:37:08.724-06:00the holidays get so hectic that a few years ago I ...the holidays get so hectic that a few years ago I started sending "new years' cards. it took the stress off of getting them out by xmas. And I must admit, one year I sent 'happy valentine's day' cards. haha. I mean the card itself was decorated as valentines and it had photos of the kids and a little blurb about what we'd been up to the previous year. Just as a xmas card would. only in feb. <br /><br />One of my secret pet peeves became that I used to spend so much time hand writing a special note onto every single card I send to people and then I'd receive a card with no note or signature or anything from people. It's still special that they think to send me a card, I know. But it just bothered me that I would spend sooo much time. haha. so my solution...don't send them at all! This year...no cards for me unless i send them after the new year again.

It makes me smile everyday when I see a few in my mailbox.

I did take a year off once, and like you, it was wonderful not having to worry about it. Not yet sure about this year.
