I love Christmas cards. This morning I read every card received last Christmas and noted on my list who had sent us cards. It was a walk down memory lane and I enjoyed remembering every friend. Our family friend Bram Collier, had the habit of keeping his cards in a box beside his chair. Every few days he would use a card as a book mark and he would drop a note to say hello and to tell you what he had been reading. I have always thought it a good idea and I enjoyed his notes over the years.
I even enjoy sending Christmas cards. My system has never changed so by now I know the drill. First I address the envelopes and add the return address sticker and stamps. Next I sign the cards with our full name. Today I had three cards from Jim and Sue and several from Sarah. I need a last name. And last I write a note with every card. I feel as if I am just stopping in to say hello, but briefly.
This year Ken was late ordering our cards. I actually forgot to ask him. Yesterday he sent me many options so tonight I selected one and he ordered the cards on the Internet. He is an expert at digging things out and even better at ordering items on line. So now I am set and even have the Christmas stamp when the cards arrive next week. Sending and receiving Christmas cards is a great joy for me, especially in my more sedentary years. So here we go.
