Yo Soy Idiot

This is a picture of our Christmas Card this year: [nevermind the fingerprints. darn digital cameras]


I always try to buy those cards that you can insert a picture into because I figure family enjoys getting an updated photo once a year. This year I slacked a little [read prior posts] and waited until the last minute to get my Christmas cards. My mom and I were in TJ Maxx, and she brought up a package of photo cards and said, "These are cute."

They were the best I'd seen so far, so I figured "Eh," and through them in the cart.

Today I started assembling the cards and had a WTF moment.

They are Spanish Cards!

Now, the "Felicidades" message inside should have been my first clue. When I first glanced over the card I didn't even bother to read it.



You might be thinking, "Oh, no one will notice. They'll just think you are 'wordly'." Think again. The instruction on how to use the card [I know. Who needs instructions? Aparently me.] are all in Spanish. There's not a lick of English on there.


Clearly, I'm an idiot.

P.S. This is my 200th post on this blog and this year [tiny party]

Blame your mom. You trusted her! This made me giggle. They turned out really nice though! Feliz Navidade.

That's hilarious! At least you got Christmas cards out this year. This is my second year in a row not to do it.

I think I may send some Christmas cards out for Labor Day as a little joke this year.

Sorry I'm a little late...

Happy 200th!!!

I like the card. It's comical. I hope you still sent them out. If I had got that I would have laughed and laughed and then wondered what it said. :)
