Count Down to the Big Day






Christmas Cards



Part of my count down to the big day is sitting down
and sending out Christmas greetings.


 It's so nice to settle down
with a holiday mug filled with tea
carols playing in the background
on an especially cold and wintry day (for the tropics)
and pick out just the right card for the folks on my list.
Some have been sharing greetings of the season for years.
It's a wonderful time for memories and smiles.


Winter Greetings!

Wishing YOU well and much joy!

    I sent out cards this year for the first time in quite a while. I love doing it as well. I even walked to the tiny old post office on Charles street in Boston to get them in the mail. It's a lovely tradition.
