I also feel it's a "if I feel like sending them" kind of season. I tend to get really stressed out at Christmas time (OK, who doesn't???
) If I'm feeling really overwhelmed, I just take a deep breath and try to prioritize. Often the cards come after my school is done, after the kids teachers presents are sent and when I can finally sit down to do them. Some years they don't get sent out at all; other years they get sent out on the 24th, sometimes earlier. I have found, though, that my Christmas Card list that I send to are really the dear people I feel close to and want to wish Merry Christmas. I've pretty much stopped sending to just the acquaintances.
