A funny thing happened to me on my way to the mailbox Saturday, Christmas Eve. (No, I did not get run over by a reindeer.) I was having a mental debate with myself as to whether or not I should stop sending Christmas cards. (By the way--if you usually get a card from me and you didn't this year? I failed to notice that the boxes I bought only contained 12 cards! So I ran out.) Anyway, I decided maybe Christmas cards were for younger folks and out-of-town friends of us older folks, so maybe I should act my age and cease and desist.
Then...I opened the mailbox. It contained 4 catalogs. Not one Christmas card. On Christmas Eve! I was so deflated. I LIKE getting Christmas cards. They are so fun. I even like Christmas letters of any length.
I changed my mind and will be sending cards next year. I've even already decided on the picture I want on the cards! I may buck the trend and send more than ever! That is, if I remember to count the number in the boxes. It may be down to 10 next year.
I love getting Christmas cards! You should send a ton. Cards send so much love this time of year.
