Okay…. Here I go…. First, I would like to sincerely apologize for the late Thank You’s and I’m going to be honest… because honesty and integrity are everything, and it’s a principle I consider highly valuable in people… I can’t make excuses, and I won’t make excuses. Excuses are like assholes, everyone has one…. This year has been a shit year, and it has been for a lot of people, so I’m not special or deserve an exemption for being a total scum bag and not posting Thank You’s AND for not sending out cards that I promised in return for the love I received. All I can is I’m truly sorry… sorry, because I know how much care and time went into sending me a card, and I’m ashamed at how happy it made me to receive each one. I failed in practicing basic etiquette and thanking everyone… I literally feel “dirty”…. I was ashamed to make any offers or to claim offers… our group never makes anyone person feel this way, but it’s simply a shame of letting others down.

I’m going to send each of you I owe a Holiday card… hand to God, I will, and I’m not doing it out of guilt, but for the exact opposite… this group is so full of incredible people who literally feel joy in making another person’s day, month, year… all with a card and a kind message. That human connection which all of us crave, is present in this group… each one of you make the world a better place by sharing the best part of you…

I also apologize that this is the list of names without specifics on your card, but I honestly would like to express that with you personally when I send you a card… so I’m committed to sending each of you the Holiday Card promised in good faith when all of you so magnanimously sent me one, and I hope you accept them with my sincere apologies for taking so long…. and know it truly is coming from my heart and it will bring you as much joy as your cards have given me…. It’s an indescribable feeling when you go to the mailbox and you see so many beautiful envelopes and know they’re all for ME. ❤️

Edit: I have only one request…. If you have had a change of address this year, will you please, please, pretty please with sugar on top, send me your new address ? I sincerely want to send you a holiday card, and I have cards but I’m not sure about the correct address… so if you could share that I’d appreciate it immensely.

XOXO May this Holiday Season be one of peace, love and immeasurable joy ❤️

Mods: I’m so sorry for this long list… but know you are appreciated
