I didn't keep track of who sent me cards and who did not. I simply enjoyed the cards that I did receive and appreciated the trouble everyone went to with their pictures and special comments.

Yes, a few probably didn't send out cards that were on the list. But they may have had good reasons such as last minute personal expenses that made sending out the cards too much for their budget - or perhaps they were sick right before the holidays. It could be any number of things.

So personally, I plan on sitting down and enjoying the cards again at some point and not worry about those who didn't send me one. I don't think a criminal offense has occurred here
