Over the years, the number of Christmas cards we receive has dwindled. It's been our practice to hang the cards we receive in a wreath encircling the enormous mirror over our mantle, but last year we didn't even have enough to do that, so we used cute holiday clothespins to clip them to the garland we have strung across the window instead.
I completely understand the phenomenon; it's been decades since we sent our own holiday greetings. This time of year can be so hectic that some traditions fall by the wayside. Now that I'm retired, I have considered reinstating the practice, but I haven't progressed beyond the consideration phase.
The ladies of my bowling league have an entirely different perspective, however. I was unprepared for the number of Christmas cards I received yesterday at our weekly match, and then again today at the holiday luncheon. Their greetings easily quadrupled those we already have this season, and how awesome it is that we may have to use both the mirror and the garland to display all the warm wishes that have been sent our way.
And? I definitely know how I'll be spending some of my time next Christmas!
