As with most people, auto-correct is often frustrating.  For years I’ve had an internal auto-correct that would take over control of my hand when I’m writing.

I’ve been sending Happy New Year cards instead of holiday cards.  It’s unique and it used to be unexpected.

My last name is Christianson.  Years ago when I’d write Christmas cards, my inner auto-correct would take over about half way though my card list.  Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, Merry Christianson.  I would have several Merry Christianson’s before I’d catch myself.  I even stopped sealing envelopes until I was sure that they all said Merry Christmas instead of a few Merry Christianson’s tossed in there.

Year’s ago when I wrote checks for everything (pre-debit cards), my auto-correct would kick in on the day of my birthday.  Every year without fail I would write a check on my birthday and it would be xx-xx-61 instead of the actual year.  It was so automatic that I would do my best to avoid writing checks on my birthday.

However you celebrate, whatever you celebrate, if you celebrate, I wish you and your love ones a safe, happy and loving season.
