So, life happened, and I just realized I missed about 30 people on my Christmas card list. Is it too late to send out Christmas cards? I feel so weird about it. I have cards made, but can save them for next year. I thought maybe I could just send out New Years cards, I have the time to bust out cards today, but I looked through ALL my sets and can't find anything!!! Argh. What would you do? Skip or send?
Personally I'd keep the cards until next year and instead (if I had time) make some quick and easy "Happy New Year" cards to send.
But I think either way would be fine. I just received my sister's Christmas card from overseas on Saturday and while I now took all of my Christmas decorations down, I'm still leaving her card up for a little longer.
We received a card that had Merry Christmas crossed out, and then Happy New Year written underneath. They wrote “We’ll do better next year....” it was very cute!
I came down with covid a week before Christmas, so all holiday anything came to a complete halt. Some cards I got in the mail, some didn't, so the people I missed will get a Valentine's card.
I spent Christmas in the recliner, coughing, blowing my nose, and eating chocolate covered peanuts.But feel fortunate to be alive.
HoHoHo!!

Here's another vote for send out Christmas cards. Every year I get a lovely photo card and letter from a friend in mid January. It is no less special because it arrives after the holidays.
I've got a cousin (not a card maker) who sends out a Look Back newsletter in Jan every years and I don't think anyone in the family has ever said, "she was late and/or she shouldn't have bothered".
Like others have said if you still want to send them or something similar then go ahead and do so. The fact that you cared enough to think of them is what will matter, especially after such a difficult year. Sending cards is a gesture of love and who couldn't use more of that.
You all are so sweet to reply. Thanks! I ended up sending them out. Just wrote a little note that I hope they HAD a Merry Christmas. I decided I have to let the little things go right now.
I have decided I do need to get a New Year and winter stamp set!

I'm way too late to the conversation to be helpful for this go 'round, but I found this little verse in one of the composition books where I jot things like this down:
The season came, the season went,
Our Christmas wishes were not sent.
But heartfelt thoughts we send to you,
With hope that all your dreams come true!
Might be helpful for others who find themselves in this situation in the future...
Super late Xmas cards- What would you do???
