I have precious little free time these days but I have enjoyed the Happy Mail I’ve received 
Off the top of my head I have goodies from @bluebird, @madebyBeaG, @Lynx, @wittychild, and @Smmarrt 
I might be forgetting someone and will hopefully have time this weekend to work on catching up. Next year I’m going to give myself more slack though and not feel so much pressure to share my Happy Mail here (sorry, but my schedule is like a full time working single mom right now…[husband works nights and no more preschool during the week])

I received a couple of sweet holiday greeting cards, from @bluebird and someone. Forum name is not in the card, and the return address got wet and I have no idea of the senders name or location (but Savannah drew the picture and its adorbs!)
Thanks, both!

Next Year Thoughts, please chime in with opinions! What do you guys think about having themes for every two or three months (instead of each one)? January & February, March & April, etc -or- January-March, April-June, etc? It’s no trouble to do them every month, just a thought to lower personal pressures 
An other idea I’m toying with is setting up Happy Mail groups (similar to partnering in swaps) so people might feel less pressure about having to send to everyone. I would have a set number of groups and as people “join” I’d rotate which group I add them too. Groups could be set for the year or mixed up every few months.
Of course everyone is welcome to participate however they want and these would only be loose suggestions. 
What do you all think? Or am I overthinking everything (as usual)?

I like both ideas, but maybe not at the same time; I’d suggest either/or. I think if the same theme is for a few months, then there’s less pressure to send to everyone every month because it would feel like you can spread out mail more. Rotating groups do the same thing, but we’d probably do our own thing a little more and you just don’t know where the muse will want to take you. I remember others in the past saying that would feel more like a swap, so I’d suggest a different theme every couple months. That also gives time for international happy mail more time to arrive during the theme we’re on.

I like to continue to just send Happy Mail in whatever form to whomever I like.
Like you kept saying: no rules, no obligations, keep it simple.
