I have lovely neighbours, couple of doors down.

So I dashed out and said,

Oops, 😳

Dashed out when he was walking the dogs and said, Raymond, can you put contact details on this card and drop it in for me please?

So I found out her name too, so the thank you card was correctly addressed to Muriel and Raymond.

No Christmas card embarrassment, though I might need to write it now before it slips my mind. 😉
