Christmas Cards...to be or not to be?!

This year, I have failed. I have failed to send out Christmas cards! To be perfectly honest, I struggled with what to do for Christmas cards and so I got overwhelmed and just didn't do it! I didn't know if I should send a card with a picture...and if I did that, what picture (or pictures) would I use? Or, maybe I should make cards. But, I ran out of time. Maybe I should send out a Happy New Years card instead. Or maybe I should just buy them in bulk and sign them and mail them. But, then that lacks the personal touch that I prefer. So, I decided that I just didn't have enough Christmas spirit in me to go through with Christmas cards this year. Maybe I'll make it a tradition to be fulfilled only in odd years!! So, I suppose I've just committed myself to sending cards to your mailboxes next year! Be on the look out for your card...in about a year!



In the meantime, I'm really enjoying all the cards everyone is sending me! I love seeing the pictures of the kids growing and hearing about what everyone has been doing for the year 2008! So, even though I am not sending any out this year, I absolutely love the excitement of checking the mailbox every day to see what new cards I've received! So, thank you all for that!! :-)


Although I may be lacking enough Christmas spirit to send out cards, I had enough to get my Christmas tree up earlier this month and to get all my Christmas shopping done yesterday! Woohoo! Now I just need to start the wrapping!
