I still enjoy sending and receiving Christmas cards...
they're like little gifts that make the season so much brighter.

I especially love the ones with family pictures and letters.
Oh the Joy!
I tend to hold on to the ones I've received from year to year...
Some have greetings from family and friends
who are in heaven now, and it's wonderful seeing their
handwritten messages from Christmastimes past.

Sometimes I think about cutting them up
and using them for a craft project,
but that hasn't happened so far.

My Mother and Grandmother would
string their cards across the living room wall
making a wonderful holiday display.

After we read our cards, we usually place them in a basket
with little snippets of each card showing off it's color.

I'm sure one of my Aunts used to make
something similar to this with her old cards.
It's actually very whimsical isn't it!

I'm hoping to get my cards in the mail soon, along with a short newsletter sharing some of our favorite pictures and happenings during this past year.
