Just got back from the post office - it wasn't as bad as I feared, I was
only there for about 45 minutes.  I'm usually a lot more timely than this,
but this year I just couldn't seem to get it all together (I'm not even
putting up a Christmas tree this year, just the thought of doing so makes me
tired!!).

I think the cards should arrive before Christmas for sure, but the packages
overseas / across the border may not (sorry :<).  Again, if anybody on the
list fails to get a card from me, please let me know - I had some problems
with the labels and the post office didn't double check them for me like
they usually do when I go in earlier in the year).

Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa!  ;>

Hugs,

Well done for sending the cards!  I haven't even touched mine yet.

You can pack in saying that sort of rubbish.  Guilty?   I gave up guilt a
few years ago and I feel a lot better for it.   I suggest you do the same.
There is a place for guilt when you have done something *very* bad, but
sending cards late isn't it. <smile>

I know!  Blame my mother for that - and she isn't even Jewish (is that
strictly an American joke??!)!   ;>

Probably.  Although my mother made me feel guilty most of the time too.

I think a lot of mothers do this without realising it.  I remember I had a
mail from a friend about how her mother still treated her like a child.  She
was furious about it.
I printed it out and showed it to my mother, she said "Are you saying that
this is how I treat you?
I said "Yes."
She was very upset.
Now she is gone I would welcome her interfering in my life again. I've
started to dream about her a lot.
We talked a lot about how it would be okay for her to return to me after
death to prove an afterlife.  I said "OMG, please don't come back in a way
that will frighten me" and she promised she wouldn't.
I did not dream about her for more than three years, but now it's come back

{{{{{{{{{{Tweed}}}}}}}}}}  Of course you're not crazy.  It's hard to lose a
parent - there always seem to be regrets even in the best of relationships.
I know I've made a point of telling everyone I love, "I love you" *EVERY*
time I talk to them.  If anything ever happens to me or them I want those to
be the last words said.

I've been working on mine for several days. Almost got them finished last
night but my eyes gave out.
