Why do some folks send Xmas cards so late?

[Anonymous]

OP my elderly aunt in Europe I have not heard from in three years sent me a heart warning letter in her card. She apologized as used wrong address last year and year before sick. She gave me an update. She folks the joy it brings her to get the cards over years. Pictures of new house, my puppy, my three kids doing activities and the fact she gets to watch her nephew (now pretty old) like. She is last surviving aunt/uncle on her mother’s side. I know she has two 60 something sons who are not talking to her over an old issue over property she inherited they wanted to sell and she refused as was my uncles family farm in the family for generations.

I sent card early enough she appreciated as time to use the address she lost to send me the lovely card.

I guess that is why I deal with the folks who weaponize Xmas to ensure the lonely and alone at Xmas feel even more alone

I made a 90 year old aunt happy. My wife is going to write her a note expressing thanks. It brightened our day too as Xmas was canceled for us with one sick child so no trip to NY. Glad to know that card brightened our Xmas and we cheered her up.

This thread is the content I come to dcum for. I’ve never been to DC and have no interest in visiting but this site has some of the most neurotic and bizarre people posting on it. I love it.

We have moved on and realize you don’t care, you have a bad marriage or are deeply disturbed and your twisted mind plays control games at the expensive of those who love you.

The next week card is just salt in the wound. The explanation point of I don’t care.

Like my brother in law married a girl my MIL did not approve of and every Xmas she twists the knife no matter how my mil tries to be nice, backing out of Xmas invites last minute, late cards after New Years. Even better the classic she used actual Xmas party pictures at her house on the late card to dig knife knife deeper to make sure mil knew she had a party and was not invited.

You weaponized Christmas. Long Slow clap.

Brilliant performance art. Top notch. The entertainment value is high.

Don’t follow rules set by emotionally damaged people. Most of us know that Christmas is a season not a day and take joy in hearing from friends and loved ones at any time.

Don't let miserable people like OP impact you.

Because I can't get it together in time to get it out before Christmas.

OP - I just got back from 4pm Xmas mass. I said a prayer for all the folks who died of Covid this year and their families. And of course I said a prayer to forgive the late Xmas card people and said a prayer they will be better people next year.

There you are forgiven. I figured the wives are probably on sofa in sweatpants binge watching America’s Next Top Model covered in Cheeto Dust with orange fingers while their inbred husband is in basement playing video games and jerking off. Xmas time at the trailer park gonna be good times Daddy stole us a new TV!

Let’s hope Uber Eats comes in time with their KFC chicken dinner. Sure they are stiffing driver on tip but at least can use our Xmas cards to wipe their greasy chicken fingers

We skipped cards this year and I gotta admit the middle paragraph, while wrong in the details, isn't entirely wrong in the imagination of what ive been doing with myself after my kids have finally gone to sleep, we've cleaned the kitchen and done the laundry, etc etc. At that point it's 10 PM and i do enjoy Netflix and sweats. Thank you for your prayers!

Darn it, I'd been SO hoping that you weren't a troll and you really were this overwrought about Christmas cards. But this is too over the top (even for this thread).

There has been a pandemic raging for nearly two years, hundreds of thousands of people have lost their lives. And this is the s*&^ you're worried about?

I was assuming the top post was an intentional OP parody post. If so, 10/10. Well done, sir.

OP I feel I touched your life for the better. Next Thanksgiving stuff the Turkey with Xanax, snort some coke and drink a quart of energy drinks and bang out the Xmas cards Thanksgiving night and mail them out ASAP as it shows folks you care!

Remember first ones are the only ones that matter! Depending on coke snorted maybe bang out 100-200 cards!

Minted messed up our order so half our cards went out on time. Other half kept getting delayed. We left for vacation and our cards arrived right after we left. Cards have been sitting at our door. Will mail out when we get back.

I usually send out timely every year.

Not Christian. I send New Years cards out deliberately to arrive after Christmas. They say Happy New Years.
