I know this makes me an awful person, but I never send out holiday cards. I never request them either. I'm just not that into the winter holidays, honestly. Too many years of retail. So sorry!
I always feel a little icky during this time of year, because I feel like a scrooge, not sharing joy with the rest of the world. But I'm just not into the holiday enough. For me, it's just a family occasion. ;)
My mother is so anti-Christmas. She says she's downsized it completely in our house. No decorations, only a tiny tree (and only then because I insist). She & I give gifts to each other, but for the rest of the family we each pick a charity and give whatever we would have spent, and they do the same for us. The whole focus ends up being getting together for the meal, and that's pretty good. It's the no-stress Christmas.
You know, you're a regular scrooge, you are! I bet even the Giant Squid has a tree! Ok, so it's coral and is strung with electric eels but it's more holiday spirit than you bother to muster!
