Gone are the days when we would sit the kids down at the table and have them each draw a nativity scene picture. A double fold card meant we could put all three pictures on the card... and still have a little room to write! Sadly, the kids outgrew this activity! Way too soon... or so it seems.
So, then we moved on to Christmas letters... with pictures of each kid. And an outline of what had happened during the year... trying NOT to become a contestant in the "Worst Christmas Letter of the Year" contest ☺ A friend and I would read the worst letter we received to each other each year. We threatened to write a really awful letter... you know, kids in jail, the dog died, etc!
And then the kids started moving out... and there was less to write...
...and then I started buying cards. The problem with buying cards is ... well... I find a card that has a really cool pic and message outside.... and the inside verse is stupid. Or the outside is stupid and the inside is wonderful. It's hard to find what you want without paying a fortune! And yes, if I were really organized like a certain "KJ" in SC, I could hand make cards... or make fabric postcards for everyone. Right, when pigs fly... that's when I'll have enough time to do that!!!
So for now, it's buy cards where the outside is good and the inside is adequate. Now... to find time to write out the cards!
Have a great weekend!
