My Cards
|
This Christmas, I have concluded that there is a big
difference between younger people and people my age (not so young!) I know what
you are thinking. Younger people have
more energy, less joint pain, more children running around and mini vans! That is all true but has nothing to do with
Christmas. Here’s my take on the big
difference. Christmas cards are no
longer just cards where you sign your name and extend greetings. Christmas cards have become adorable picture
events of darling families. People my
age, don’t want to send pictures of themselves.
Last year, Jessica and I had a little contest to see who could get the
most cards. I lost miserably. This year I even mailed cards of my own
hoping for a return on my investment.
Every day when the mail comes, I go to the mailbox hoping for a bunch of
Christmas cards. But alas all I find are bills, catalogs and a dozen offers for
credit cards. (Not the cards I’m looking
for!)

| Jeremy and Jessica's cards |
We are sharing our Christmas decorations in the house with
Jeremy, Jessica and their children while they wait to build their dream
house. The grandchildren run in several
times a week to put up their Christmas cards and laugh at my lack of
correspondence. Please don't send a card because you feel sorry for me. There is nothing worse then a pity Christmas card!
I think the only answer
is to make younger friends. So, I’m
coloring my hair and thinking of trading in my cute little car for a
mini-van.
