'Tis the season

[fenchurch]

I just got the next to last batch of cards out in the mail!

I did a final tally and between relatives and friends, we're sending out around 75 cards this year! Yowza! Not bad considering last year was the first year we managed to send out *any*. At this point, the only cards left to go are for a few people I added to the list a bit late (after running out of cards), and some relatives I don't see very often and want to actually tell them what we're up to nowadays (IOW, I need to take the time to print up some sort of letter).

Hopefully, I haven't missed anybody... and there may be one or two of you who get two cards, because about halfway through the process, I lost track of what I had done and sent (I did mention this is only the second year I've done this, didn't I?). I figure next year I should have a whole system developed for doing this...

I also braved the post office and got a few packages sent... those self-help kiosks are wonderful, even if they are a bit clunky. It would have been much nicer and more efficient if I could have run more than one transaction at a time... especially where I was paying with my debit card.

Well, that's what I tried to do... but my address labels all have a little embossed thing of holly on them, and some of the addresses were too long, which meant they had to be reprinted. Except that I went ahead and hand-wrote a few of them, just to get them done. And then I lost some of the sheets of labels that had the ones not sent on them... and, well, there was great confusion. :-p
