Anonymous Xmas cards

[watervole]

This is the time of year of the anonymous Xmas card.

In they come, with love from Graham, Andrew, Ann, etc.

The post mark is blurred and I wonder which of the several Grahams, Andrews and Anns that I know have sent these particular cards...

When I'm sending a card that's just from me, as opposed to family ones, I tend to sign many of them 'Judith Proctor'. It doesn't sound quite as friendly, but I know how many other Judiths are out there... (Or else I put a return address
sticker on the envelope)

I wonder if it's the same Ann my mother is puzzling over? She appeared to live in Taunton.

I got one today with nothing written in it at all. The postmark is Watford, and the writing on the envelope seems vaguely familiar, but I've already had cards from the three people I can think of in the Watford area, and anyway I know their writing and this isn't it. I did eventually form a theory that it could be my ex-flatmate's sister. She doesn't live in Watford, unless she's moved, but it's possible she might work there. I don't see her handwriting more than once a year, but I think it is a bit like this.

I always try to remember to use an address sticker. Christmas is a good time for working out who might have moved without telling you. Or reminding friends who have lost your address where you are.
