We got our first Christmas card earlier this week from some dear friends. They have two children the same age as ours, and the kids all adore each other. So there’s no wonder that my kids were arguing over the card, which had a picture of the whole family. My son was upset that his younger sister wouldn’t let him see his friend’s picture; meanwhile, my youngest was holding the card lovingly against her fact, proclaiming it as hers. Peace on Earth, right?!
One of my favorite traditions at Christmastime is the sending and receiving of Christmas cards. We took our kids out on Sunday in their Christmas outfits, and my husband – a fabulous photographer – snapped some pics to use for our holiday greetings. Can’t wait to get them out!
You don’t have to use a picture if you’re planning to send cards. You also don’t have to send a lengthy letter telling everyone about your year. But if you plan to, you might want to get started on it. (And, if you go the letter route, make sure you have someone proof it!)
22 days ’til Christmas!
