[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 675946, member: 4152"] That is a lovely idea Wiped Out. I had a very bad year with Difficult Child years ago and I think I sent out like five cards to very close relatives only. Didn't worry about it one bit. This year some friends had difficulties and sent me an email instead of a card. I've seen that before. I think one sent a text. I think that is a great idea. Much easier. A great alternative when busy, etc. AND I've had a few friends over the years do New Years cards, which might actually be my favorite holiday. This too makes sense. I have a cousin in law who actually does one every Valentine's day. She did it one year that she was too overwhelmed for some reason (instead of a Christmas card) and then liked it so much, she just decided to do it permanently. Unfortunately, the holidays often become overwhelming and of course, if you have a difficult child, that probability is much higher. I guess in the case of this friend I was surprised it happened two years in a row and she didn't think to send a text or something. Plus, there were the other subtle oddities. Change is never easy and it's also a shame that more likely than not something is troubling her and there is nothing I can do about it, esp. since it's not something she wishes to share with me.
