BuffyBear's Journal, 15 Dec 11

I had a very good day yesterday thanks to everybody's encouragement. Am taking another vacation day tomorrow (love those long weekends).

I had to make a hard decision, but once it got made a lot of my stress went away. You see, I love Christmas Cards and have always taken the time to personalize each one, but the beautiful cards I bought will not get sent out this year - there just wasn't enough time.

So, next week I'll make some phone calls to to my Aunts, etc. and just move on. Problem solved.

Hope everyone is finding time to focus on the important things.

Buffy, that must have been a hard decision to make, but I am glad you made it & that you are happy with it. I am sure your family & friends will love hearing from you! I am sooooo jealous, a long weekend! Enjoy for me too!

Buffy I've cut my card list down considerably over the years. Use to send cards to everyone, but don't do that any more. Family and few close friends. Enjoy long weekend !

Buffy, there comes a time in our life that we just have to cut back.. I too have cut back on the cards and also the gifts...I am sure your family will love a call from you..hearing your voice will be a treat... Glad it helped out with the stress..we all need less of that....☺

I am sure your family loved getting the cards. On the other hand I am sure they will enjoy actually talking to you more. Enjoy the weekend.

Buffy, I am going to be doing Christmas Cards this evening...really need to get them done if they are going out tomorrow! Lol Glad you made the decision and dropped the stress! Hugs!

Its amazing how stress inducing this holiday of fellowship and good cheer can actually be. Ive encointered the extremes of awesome togetherness and bitter stress over Christmas over the years, and have hopefully arrived at the blessed middle ground in terms of cards, family and freinds. It looks like you have arrived at a good solution with your contacting those you wish to extend greetings to. Now make those calls and CHHIIIIIL!

I think they would like to hear from you more than a card. It is more personal. Good decision.

Buffy....I think it is a great decision also, I am sure they will love to have a chat with you rather than a card.....

Buffy, I may not get mine out either and refuse to stress about it. Like so many others, I used to send out lots and lots of cards, no longer. I think everyone is cutting down. The cards we receive have gotten less and less over the last several years. I think a lot of people have stopped sending them out altogether or just send to very close friends and family members in other cities. Enjoy the Christmas Season.

Yes, Buffy, people are cutting down and time is speeding up. How ever does that work? karenagain is right. I'm sure they will love hearing from you more than receiving a card. have a wonderful holiday!

lol Buffy I had the same problem, bought some lovely cards and they are still sitting here on my desk - all international posting dates have passed - so I thought I would just drop everyone an email - which I think they will prefer anyway :)
