Perhaps that&#8217;s why I continue with the Christmas cards tradition.<\/p>\n<p>\nPerhaps I should check what the etiquette is, but I&#8217;ve tended to send them to people until I don&#8217;t get one back. Many people faithfully send one to me every year; sometimes it&#8217;s the only contact I have with them.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe other day, while writing this year&#8217;s Christmas cards, I decided to phone someone who didn&#8217;t send me back a Christmas card around a decade or more ago. I was nervous, wondering if they were angry at me for something. Not at all, it turned out; rather, we had a really nice chat. They revealed that they never send Christmas cards because it&#8217;s such a busy time of year.<\/p>\n<p>\nMy wife takes it one step further, proclaiming that most single men don&#8217;t send Christmas cards. She&#8217;s seldom wrong.<\/p>\n<p>\nSo perhaps, if a married couple has stopped returning one&#8217;s Christmas cards, one may indeed be off the VIP list.<\/p>\n<p>Seasons greetings, and best of luck with those Christmas cards:)<\/p>\nJack of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oracletutoring.ca\">Oracle Tutoring by Jack and Diane,<\/a> Campbell River, BC.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Self-tutoring about holiday habits: the tutor mentions Christmas cards.
