You can’t possibly believe that I forgot about sending out cards during the Holiday, can you ? 

Well, truth be told, I did my obligatory sprint for the Holiday finish line.  The house was decorated, gifts were wrapped, and Christmas treats were made.  And eaten I might add.  I had plans about the Christmas cards this year.  I did.

Well, sort of.  You see, I was planning for a cute family photo card – didn’t happen.  Which then turned into a cute photo card of the Monkey – also didn’t happen.  And so I was left to face the reality of it being the 23rd of December.  Even if I rushed, got some cards, got them addressed and stamped, no one would even get their Christmas cards until after Christmas, anyway.  So what is the point exactly?

Why am I limited to sending out a nice card with good wishes to my friends and family only around Christmas time?  Who says that the only time of year that there are any great cards with wonderful sentiments is Christmas?  What is the deal with the post Thanksgiving financial windfall for the US Postal Service to handle all the mass mailings to everyone in your address book? 

I don’t just think about friends and family at Christmas time.  Sure, that is ONE of the times but believe it or not – you are on my mind more frequently than that.  So, I am breaking free of the unwritten rules.  I am questioning authority – you are shocked I can tell!   I am going right out there on the edge of prim and proper let me tell you.  I am throwing all caution to the wind and sending out cards to people whenever I want.  That’s right.  You read it right here!  You just might end up getting a card or letter from me because …because I felt like sending one!

 So there it is…right out there in the open.  Whew! 

Stay tuned…   Who knows when you might happen upon a fun greeting card or note from me in your mailbox. 

Happy New Year …Ya’ll!
