It is a little unseemly to complain about receiving a holiday card from someone and yet, I really wish this one family member would "remember" that I did not change my last name when I got married (over a decade ago. ) There is no person living here with my first name and my partner's last name. The only other entities that send mail to this imaginary person are spam.

@baconandcoconut We had this same problem from multiple family members, took an unfortunate (>3) number of reminders but it seems to have stuck for this past round of holiday cards?

@sethmlarson It seems a little extra weird in this era of social media when you can just look? Or text and ask? (This is not an elderly and/or techphobic family member.)

@baconandcoconut In our case it was blind assumptions, I wouldn't expect them to check social media but internalizing how we sign off on our own cards or texting to clarify are well-within the realm of expectations for them. I would not be surprised if for both family members this was their first experiences with a married couple that didn't share a family name.

@baconandcoconut I'm sorry. That sounds very passive-aggressive of them if they are going out of their way to do that. No holiday card for them in my book.
