The December Deliveries: Twelve Years of Christmas Cards

I never thought a greeting card could ruin my life, but for twelve Decembers it has. Every year a new card arrives—first a glittery Santa, then a photo taken through my window, then a strand of my own hair tucked behind a pressed flower—and each one escalates the terror. I moved, changed my locks, installed cameras, and even filed reports, but the cards keep coming, always beginning the first week of December and always getting closer. This episode is my story of escalation and resolve. I describe the creeping dread of being watched, the small, personal details the sender somehow knows, and the moment this year’s card arrived with a jagged hole and a message that felt like a final warning. I tell you why I’m done waiting for the police to catch whoever is doing this, why I’m going back to the place it started, and how I’m preparing to confront the person—or thing—behind the annual harassment. If you like tense, personal horror that blends true‑crime dread with domestic invasion terror, press play. This is for listeners who want a chilling, first‑person account of obsession, surveillance, and the holiday season turned into a countdown. I’ll be honest, raw, and unflinching—this is my plan, my fear, and my last chance to stop the December deliveries.
