My annual apology

I don't do holiday cards.

This is not because I don't like mail. I like receiving mail a great deal.

It's because I totally suck at getting them written and mailed, and I hate to disappoint people by telling them they'll get something in the mail from me and then not sending it. Even worse, I hate to feel that I've offended people by making them think I left them out. I'd rather just not send anything.

So, while I certainly wish everyone happy holidays, Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, Happy Kwanza, Happy New Year, a Blessed Solstice, etc., etc., I will not mail out any greetings of the season. Since I am not confident of my ability to reciprocate, I generally don't sign up to get cards from people on LJ when they put up their, "Give me your address so I can send you a card" holiday post.

If you still want/have my address and wish to send me something without reciprocation, know that I appreciate it immensely.

Can I get your address when I make that post with the caveat that I don't actually get cards out every year, so not only is it possible that you won't get one from me anyway, if you do you can be certain that I totally empathize and don't think any less of you for not sending me one?

I would still like to send a card. Provided I get them ou tthis year. =P

I can give you my address on those grounds. :)

Honestly, it's never very likely that I'll get them out, but this year with Piet going back to work so recently and so much on my plate just keeping the family running, it's many times less likely than usual.

I appreciate it!

I'm happy to add you to the list! I just made a post. :)

Can I get your address with the same caveat provided? Never mind, just realized I already have it from last year.
