Somehow I knew that I wouldn't be organized this year to get cards out before Hanukkah or Christmas so I opted for New Year's cards. It seemed like such a good idea and a simple one.
I could write cards at my leisure anytime in the month (of course that would also mean that I had ordered them early enough, ahem). Unfortunately, I must have placed the order the same day as half of the world because the cards took longer than I expected and I didn't receive them prior to our big snowstorm. That would have been perfect...a nice cup of hot chocolate with extra whipped cream, a holiday movie and a stack of cards...instead I helped shovel
All I needed to do was write them and mail them prior to--oh, say--today. Well, most of them made it in the mail but I missed the mailman this morning (since when does he come in the morning?!) so I hope our happy new year greetings reach their destinations by December 31 at midnight. (Just in time for me to come up with a resolution for next holiday season...)
I sent most of my cards out before Christmas, but some won't be making it until after New Year's. Oh well. There's always next year.
ReplyDeleteMy mom always sends a batch of New Year's cards. I think it's a great idea!
ReplyDeleteOh that is so typical. Hopefully they will arrive although at least we know you had great intentions. That reminds me, one saying my mom always had was "The road to hell is paved with good intentions". I wonder if this is what she meant Lol!
ReplyDeleteI figured I'd at least try to get some of them out before Christmas. The rest will have to wait until I manage to get myself to the post office sometime this week. Close enough!
ReplyDeleteI was thinking New Year's cards too - but I better be getting to it!
ReplyDeleteI'm always so late getting my Christmas cards in the mail I usually write "Happy Holidays" on them so I'm covered :) And do people really care? it's the thought that counts. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteThats ok I bought two different kinds of cards and mailed zero of them out...oy vay
ReplyDeleteoh, that has happened to me so many times. Some times they are valentine's day cards.
ReplyDeleteAnybody would love hearing from you anytime. :)
Most of my cards were New Year's cards but that was just because I mailed them a day or so before Christmas and they had to travel across the country.
ReplyDeleteHey, I just got your cute card today!! Well, who knows when I really got it, we had our mail held at the PO, but I went and picked it up today and let me just say, that is the BEST pic of Bug!! : )
ReplyDeleteI haven't even MADE my cards yet. So mine will be a happy 2010, after the new year begins! Hope you and yours enjoyed the holidays and have a great NYE!
