If it says Keller, it made it. We used to be Keller then merged with Fort Worth. The two names are still interchangeable for my zip code. I’ll make sure next year to make a note of that.
There is still time to get your cards to us!!! Please try to get them to me by the end of the week. I really hate for those people that made all of their cards to miss out on the receiving end.

I sent it from one town over (I was at a PO in Grapevine) but did it on the self-service machine. The machine did NOT like Ste 114 (finally just put in 114 and it accepted it). I had to write in the PO Box myself. :) Tracking says it got there, so hopefully it went to the right spot! Thanks again for all of the coordination WOE!
I'm the BS. WH had an EA/PA with a cOW. DDay was 4/17. Working on R. Married 15 years and together 20 at DDay.
DDay #2 and #3 6/19. Grew a conscience and admitted a full blown physical affair.
Current and forever status is reconciling. I don't

I’ll have to try to remember to talk to them about the address next year and let them know there have been struggles.
My apologies guys. It’s a small mom and pop shop. Sweet couple.

My little local PO had no address issues, I guess, since the Postmaster didn't mention anything that was in question. But I do remember there was some issue last year like this. Last year I sent from a larger PO location.
Thank you, WOES, for giving more time so more participants can get their cards in. You are absolutely the BEST! Thank you again for taking this on without helper Elves and a party to make it fun.

I am so so sorry. I totally forgot about this. I have been staying away from the site for the last few weeks as I’ve been dealing with some stuff and being on here was extremely triggering for me. Logged in for the first time in a while and am mortified that I forgot about this.
I’m so sorry to everyone who is participating and also to the mods for shirking on my commitment.

I just want to update all of you on the cards.
We normally would have had them sorted and labeled this past weekend. Unfortunately, we were not able to get them finished. I will have them done this weekend though! Hoping to be able to send some pics for y’all.
I just didn’t want you waiting for them and hoping to see them sometime this weekend. It’s getting done, I promise...just a bit behind schedule.
I appreciate your patience.

Sorry there wasn't an Elf party to get it done. Another reason 2020 sucks. Hard to do it all without help. Just adds a few more days of anticipation.

WOES,
It's ok, I was so late getting my cards out that the glitter fairy didn't have time to make them all sparkly this year. Then I had to send them overnight mail which it may just have been cheaper to fly them down on spirit myself instead. Lol.

Even though it was just the two of us this year WOES kept at least one tradition alive and well:

ChewedMeUp, thanks for the song suggestion! I’ve been enjoying listening to it, in anticipation of the cards and also because it feels about perfect for Christmas 2020.

I miss my fellow elves. Tequila isn't the same without you guys.
No one changes unless they want to. Not if you beg them. Not if you shame them. Not if you use reason, emotion, or tough love. There is only one thing that makes someone change: their own realization that they need to.

lieshurt, my sentiments exactly!
