Hi Karen
it's good to see you back. We all struggle with different issues, so never feel guilt or shame. As far as the X-Mas cards, maybe you can approach it this way. HUG THE MONSTER! Purchase your greeting cards early. Pick one card you haven't opened yet, and prepare an envelope for that person. Then, open their card and read their good wishes. That will make it easier to prepare their card early, and no pressure on you. Do one or two a week. Don't mail or seal them yet in case you want to add anything before you're ready to mail them.
In any event, many people don't send cards any more. There's no reason to apologize for that.
Take care and be well. Glad you're back.
