I am a horrible, horrible person and more than one person will be getting an apology over the Year of the Missing Christmas Card. I must have totally had my head on backwards when trying to get these cards written.
First, I sent a card to Sweden with US postage. Either that or the darned thing disappeared into thin air, because I know I didn't put proper postage on it, but the post office hasn't seen fit to send it back yet, so I don't know exactly what happened to it.
Then I get a lovely card from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dbrus, and while I'm reading it, I start wondering what I wrote in the card I sent to her. Then I realize that I can't remember, which is odd. That's when I checked my list and saw that her name was in fact, not crossed off at all. I have no idea what happened because.. well, I had a list and I checked it twice! I guess she must have been naughtier than she thought! :) Sorry, Dawn! I would have sent it anyway, late, but I didn't realize what happened until the day before Christmas Eve, when I got the card, and I knew I didn't have a chance of getting it there on time.
But the worst insult came today, with a "RETURN TO SENDER: INSUFFICIENT ADDRESS" label affixed. What, they think that listing the country in the address is useful information?! What the heck is that about anyway? Ahem. *blush* M thinks that they could have looked it up somewhere because there is surely only one Nynäshamn in existence. (See, that's foreshadowing as to whom I'm talking about. I am a skilled storyteller.) I don't know why it took them so long to send it back from Lexington, but okay. M helped me draft the note inside, and I was really rather expecting some sort of response to the contents because it is by far the strangest Christmas card I've ever sent. (Or not sent, considering the outcome.) I guess they were sort of wondering where the heck their card was, so maybe we can call it even...
So. If you didn't get a card from me and you think perhaps you should have, then.. well, it's probably because I'm an idiot and sent it to Zimbabwe or something. I'll scan the card I tried to send toozswede and tallefjant and you can all pretend that none of your friends are as dumb as I occasionally am. (Sorry, you two! We tried!)
( Merry Christmas! )
