Not sending out Christmas cards!
Lately I’ve seen a ton of blog posts about super cute newlywed Christmas cards. It seems like everyone is jumping on the chance to pick a wedding photo or pictures of their kids for their Shutterfly cards to share with their friends and family.
And I kind of wish we were jumping on that bandwagon too, but we’re not.
It’s not that I don’t like Christmas cards, I really do! If you followed my wedding planning blog, you know I have a fond place in my heart for all kinds of paper products. I would usually jump at the opportunity for a creative project like Christmas cards.
But I decided I’m not going to be an a-hole.
See, nobody in my generation on either side of my families send Christmas cards as of yet. Only grandparents and aunts and uncles exchange cards. So I don’t want to be the jerk that starts the trend, and have all my cousins resent me because they’ll feel like they have to send a card in return. Us kicking off the sending of cards would open up a whole can of worms, and I’m just not down with that kind of thing.
So sadly, we won’t be sending cards out this year, and likely not for a few years. That is, until one of my cousins sends one to us first, then it’s GAME ON! Muwhahaha (evil laugh)!
And since I can’t get my Christmas card fix on, I’ll share this with all of you lovely readers. Meow-y Christmas, from my fur babies!
