[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it a passive aggressive thing? Control thing? Just Laziness?

I ask as a few folks year after year mail it so late.

I also go to NY to see family most years and some cousins will be at Xmas with us and when I get back home to the DMV the card is there. Why mail it so late that you see me in person at Xmas before I get the card? I get folks are busy we all been there. But I had one person mail literally a card that is a Christmas card I get it after Xmas every year the last 30 years!! I usually have taken down cards by then so awkward.

One year my wife and I had a lot of things going on Illness, death of my mother and paired down list and did not mail the late people as we assumed only sending us a card since we sent one to them. Guess what they still came. Usually day after Xmas.

Why do they do it? Two are now literally empty nesters and retired. So they have time.

Wow.

OP, are you capable of reading your own post as if it were a stranger's? Because to an objective stranger there are red flags brighter than Rudolph's nose all over your vent.

"Passive aggressive, control, laziness"? Why did your mind leap directly to negative behaviors and bad intent? Maybe check whether you've been subjected to things like that yourself, and project onto others (who are doing nothing more awful than...sending cards late?) that they must be...doing what, exactly? How does it exert "control" over the card's recipient if the card is late? How is it "passive aggressive" to send it late? Maybe you think it's a message to you that "I tossed this in the mail but don't really care--"? Laziness is just a big old judgement on your part. Read the posts by people here talking about how life does get in the way. Are they lazy, in your eyes?

This paragraph is downright odd:

I'm sorry you had a tough Christmas that year but...you [i]resent[/i] that people to whom you did not send cards that year did send cards to you? Maybe your grief is still clouding your judgement. But you seem very, very irritated [i]by being remembered by other people.[/i] If they don't meet your standard for timing, well, you don't care that they took any time at all to remember your existence.

Maybe this year send out notice that any cards that arrive at your home after Christmas will be returned to sender and are a signal never to send you a card again.

Do you get this worked up if a birthday card is late? I'm betting yes.[/quote]

Yes, OP has serious problems.[/quote]
