I don't do Christmas cards. Husband does. Last year I posted the Christmas cards he'd written the year before. This year he has been talking about writing them since July. Nothing happened and the cut off for posting to the UK is two days away.
Now, every year Cas calls his friends to get the addresses. Every year he writes these addresses down on a piece of paper and loses it. So last year I bought an address book and he wrote the addresses in it.
So I thought spending the afternoon writing Christmas cards to people I mostly don't know would be easy.
Alas, no. Address book is written in Man Code. So I have no last names. In some cases I have no first names, just bizarre nicknames. I have written the majority of cards (whilst running out of adjectives: "Have a happy/brilliant/awesome/fantastic/wincesty Christmas" I was tempted to just write "< insert chosen salutation here >" but thought it wasn't very nice.
In the case of offspring I have written "Dear X, Y & Family (yes we are rubbish and don't know the names of your offspring)." In extreme cases I have written "Dear X and family (yes we are rubbish and don't know the names of your spouse(s) and/or offspring)"
I've also signed them all with the dog's names as well, which should stir up a storm among the interconnected friends who will think we have spawned without telling anyone.
I'm going to have to call for addresses again.
The hellfire, it is toasting my toes as I type.
