Cards and angst
Dec. 9th, 2002 01:12 pmJust finished writing, addressing, stamping etc. etc. the Yule cards.
Now in general, I like the sending card ritual. Usually I manage Samhain, but only on good years do I manage Yule. (Though on "good years" I often get all my shopping done before Samhain, so I'm massively behind by that standard. I hate shopping in December.) Cards are fun, and while I'm no great shakes as an artist, dusting of my little used design skills enough to put together a card is always amusing.
Anyhow, as I was finishing putting stamps on the pile of cards (and feeling slightly guilty because while I paid for two sheets of stamps, the post office guy apparently handed me three, and I don't think I can be bothered to take them back) I suddenly felt like I was in the process of spamming all my friends and relatives... Maybe it was all the green envelopes -- they all looked so uniform.
