Christmas Card Confession

I have a confession to make.

Those are my Christmas cards, still unsent. I did get a few out on Christmas Eve, but the rest of them I wrote this morning. Nothing like a bit of procrastination, eh? One year I actually did send New Year's cards; I have a neat rubber stamp of an hourglass and I use sparkly colored glitter for this sand. This year, I'm just late! When I addressed the envelopes back in early December I purposely put the stamps on them, so that I knew I couldn't just shove them back in the box until next year. See, I know my weaknesses.

No big plans for us tonight. Once we had a baby I finally got over the feeling that if I didn't have some fabulous New Year's Eve plans, I was a total loser. Now I don't even care if I stay up until midnight! I don't even want to make special food after all the overeating we did last week, so we'll just have a normal dinner and watch a video. Low-key, but sounds good to me! Tomorrow I want to start de-Christmasing but I need to get the new toy mess cleaned up before I'll have room to make another mess.

Goodbye, 2008! And now I'd better run to get the cards in the mailbox before the postman comes!

  2. Happy 2009 Heidi!
    Don't be too hard on yourself... I was late on everything this year! I almost felt like I was late for Christmas... I just couldn't get into it this year till the week before.
    We're settling in for a nice, quiet New Years Evening too.

    I like how you put stamps on the cards so you knew they had to go out eventually!
    I also am one of those people who could care less it I hit the midnight hour...my cozy bed is often how you will find me at the stroke of midnight.

  7. It isn't your fault that you didn't get them out before- it was the calendars, it was actually a short season this year!

  9. I didn't send cards either. Since Santa brought a puppy for Christmas I thought we would take a pic of the kids and the puppy for a Happy New Year card. I don't think it's gonna happen....

    So Hap, Hap, Happy New Year from The ParTea Planner! Best of love, memories and good health for 2009!
