A question of etiquette

If you, by some trick of fate, managed to write the 30 vague and insipid Christmas cards to people who work with your husband and then forgot to mail them because you were too busy and then didn't unearth them again until, say, February (hypothetically) what should you do? Here are the options, as I see them:

1) Mail them with a post-it stuck in each one decrying your oversight.

2) Bin them and do it again next year. (The writing, not the forgetting)

3) Call this year a wash and save the cards for next year.

4) Develop an ideological objection to Christmas cards in general, and send e-cards next year to help the environment.

5) Waste time writing a blog post about it instead of actually doing anything.

Thoughts?

You could use markers and construction paper to re-fashion the cards into Valentine's Day cards and send them today. Because sending Valentine's day cards to your work acquaintances is not weird at all.

What I would actually do: (6) Put them in a drawer as part of a plan to use them next year, then forget that they exist until you're packing up to move into a new house in a few years, at which point you should throw them away because you already have too much crap to move.
