I had 3 cousins. One died and I didn't go to the funeral - it was 2000 miles away in FL. Then another cousin died and my remaining cousin didn't tell me. Now he didn't send me a Christmas card. I'm wondering if he is dead. But I checked the obits and didn't see him or his wife. Maybe he's really sick. Or his wife. I didn't send him a card. I don't really know him. He's just the last relative I have left.

Is it possible they just didn't get around to cards, this year? I had a couple of years after my mom passed that I could only focus on what I could focus on.
Can you text or call them?
Thanks for this!

Did you send your own greeting card to them?

In my own case I have been receiving fewer and fewer Xmas cards as each year goes by. Still, I make every opportunity to make contact - card or no card - with those that matter to me.

It might be prudent for you to contact them first instead of waiting for them to do the same.

I kinda feel like if anyone gets mad and uses not sending you a card to get the message across then its their problem. There are better ways to communicate.

It's kind of late now. But I guess a happy New Year card sent on the 2nd isn't that late. I hope no one is dead. Or near death. Or in a coma.

If you are concerned if they are ok, call them or send a letter.
Thanks for this!
