[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Working until Xmas Eve? Ordered personalized cards and delivery delayed? Spending weekends visiting Auntie in assisted living and shopping for her whims? I can think of so many reasons. But perhaps they shouldn't send you one at all if you are so particular. [/quote]

OP I get all of that. I am talking 30 years in a row one person and another 25 years in a row. We actually only mailed our two weeks ago. We literally went on CVS Website on a Sunday, ordered on line and picked up two hours later and mailed. I had years with issues and went out later. But these folks every year. Single, newlyweds, with kids. Empty nesters.

I like the cards. But I literally am taking down Xmas tree when they come. Why not just send Happy New Years cards? [/quote]

For 20 years, my habit has been to leisurely do my holiday cards during the week between Christmas and new year's, when I am off of work and have time to sit and do them. Maybe im just busier than you are. Maybe my extended family is 3 times bigger than yours and it takes a lot longer for me to do them. Maybe I write long notes in many of them so i need more time. Maybe I'm a procrastinator. Maybe i think of the Christmas season as lasting longer than you do. Maybe all these things are true.

I do often send a "new year's" instead if a "Christmas" card, but why does it matter to you if you get a belated Christmas wish instead of a new year's one? You aren't going to treat them any differently. If you've already taken down your Holiday display, you'll open it, look at it, and drop it into the trash, either way. So why do you care? Why not accept my good wishes and get on with your day?[/quote]
