Feeling pleased with myself as I sat down yesterday afternoon and got all my Xmas cards written and addressed
Apart from a few that is. My friend's husband died suddenly last autumn, and my aunt also experienced the same but just before Christmas Obviously last Christmas I sent them cards but avoided the "Ho ho ho, have a fantastic Xmas" sorts of greetings, plumping for the Seasons Greetings and a carefully worded letter.
Both of these people have had a really hard year without their dh's, we're in regular contact with them. Is it best to send a similar sort of card to last year or does that convey the message that you're not expecting them to enjoy Christmas? I've got some lovely fun cards which would be just the thing for my friend's children but I wonder if they're somehow too "jolly" given the circumstances. Would appreciate some advice!
