Already...?
I received my first Christmas card today. It was from a very sweet women from my critique group, whom I don't know all that well. (and I have been absent from said critique group for almost the entire year - why does every group schedule on Tuesday nights? I'm sorry, but 3 Cub Scouts trump one writing momma)


I discussed just last night whether anyone would notice if I skipped this year's card run. I lost all my addresses in the September computer crash and will have to work hard to get all of them again - we usually send out 55-60 cards. Not a lot mind you, but when you have to get all addresses - even my own father's 'cause I wasn't smart enough to make a hard copy of my address book - it is a daunting undertaking.

And ~ without fishing for compliments here ~ who would notice whether Dennie McD remembered them on the joyous holiday - but this one card, the day before December, made my day - I shall have to rethink my postal shun.

Christmas cards always seem like such an 'obligation' to me, especially working in an office (damn! there's my mystique blown out of the water!). I don't know, possibly it's down to my general world-view, or simply that I see Christmas as being a vastly over-commercialised affair (and not having a religous bone in my body is also probably a contributory factor), but the only people who receive cards from me are my immediate family, and my partner (if I happen to be in a relationship at the time).

Who knows, maybe I'll try sending a few e-cards this year...

My mother does the e-cards for all the kids - they love watching it. Then a few hours late they realize you can't attach money in the e-card and get all pouty :-)

My genetic family is getting smaller every year which is so very sad, but my becasue-I-like-you family grows so it stays pretty even.

My family has also dwindled down. Hopefully, our boys will make us lots of grandbabies, LOL!

Love the avatar!

I love saying Merry Christmas....(no happy holidays for me) but boy, by snail mail, at 37cents a pop, that adds up.

That avatar cracks me up!!
