Is this the first time it has happened ?

i don't want to make you feel worse, but that’s hardly an oversight. even if you were married for just a year, that’s just wrong. i would feel insulted. is this the first time it’s happened?

Oversight.

They are getting old and people make mistakes.

It's a Christmas card - don't make it ugly.

Both an oversight and insult. Whether it was intended only they know the truth. I guess on your end you can chose to ignore it. You could push the issue but where would it get you?

The important thing to remember is YOU DID NOT DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS. YOU ARE BETTER THAN THAT. So my advice is to let it go.

I would be offended if I was to receive a card like that especially if you are close with them.

If you are not close with them, maybe they don't care to address you in the title.

Keep that in mind for their card next time. In fact keep the envelope with your cards you send!

I would say it's an oversight. Things are hectic this time of year. Probably just in a hurry to get them in the mail.

Most people don't do cards anymore.

I only sent them out to ones we received from this year instead of my normal stack I do. My FIL is terminal & things around here have been hectic to say the least.

Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!

Personally that would eat at me until I picked up the phone and called them and questioned it......as casually as I could muster. Perhaps something like "gee, your beautiful Christmas card came today and I noticed blah blah blah. It's just making me wonder if perhaps I have done something to offend you that you didn't include me on it. Do I owe you an apology for something or was that just an oversight?"
