Christmas Cards

In the late 80's (when I was a student) I used to send my Christmas cards out between Christmas and New Years. When else does a University student have time? I used to hope everyone got what they wanted (usually a passed class) and to closer friends I'd throw in a Happy Valentine's Day (mid-terms, no time to talk then) and a Happy Easter (Finals) as I knew that the next time I'd write would be May.

As a worker I did send out Christmas cards. Some years I even sent them out the beginning of December!

Along came 2 cute adorable infants. Yep, still managed to get the cards out ... at least close to Christmas.

Who knew that 2 school-aged children could create so much work in December? You'll be lucky to get your Christmas cards by February.

Christmas is THE THING this year. Santa is THE MAN. The excitement of Christmas crafts, Christmas baking, and Christmas parades (3) is almost too much. And I haven't even mentioned the Christmas concerts, dinners and parties everyone has been invited to. Oh ya, and with each concert, dinner, group, party and of course 2 great kids - Christmas Presents. This takes time. Things fall of the To Do List. Like Christmas cards.....

So, consider this your warning if I wish you a Happy Valentine's Day when you get your Christmas card :-)
