Well, I had my Christmas cards all done and ready to be mailed by December 1 this year. I was really excited about it, too.
Usually I don’t like sending cards. Nine times out of 10, they just go in the garbage anyway once the holidays are over. It seems so wasteful to me.
This year for some reason, I was inspired to do the card thing again. But instead of just sending a card, I wanted to include something kind of fun that might stick around longer so I found some cute little sparkly ornaments that matched my cards and fit perfectly inside.
And I was oh so pleased with my cleverness and originality–until I began hearing from just about every single person they reached that the ornament arrived in broken bits. And what’s irritating is that I went to the post office and asked them specifically if they would be okay to mail the way I had, and was given the thumbs-up. Grrrr.
What a bummer.
Well, it’s the thought that counts, right?
