I couldn't imagine doing something like that!<BR/>Two of my cousins send out a 'family letter' with their Christmas cards, and I love reading them. Doesn't bother me that they are mass produced on the cousins' computers - it's all news to me.<BR/>As for e-cards, I have one or two friends who send those instead of regular cards, and I get cranky. I just delete them, and when they ask did you get my email? I say no, did you get my card?<BR/>Sorry to be narky, but I like tradition.Gina E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07532527261977368083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23379328.post-66458621195737233922008-12-12T01:40:00.000+00:002008-12-12T01:40:00.000+00:00I absolutely adore the chair.

I'm used to going to buy a "real" tree sometime between the 20th and 23rd, and that's when the decorations come out. My Pennsylvanian husband is used to having a fake tree, and it goes up the first weekend of December. In his family this also involved the tree being on a platform with a model train and village setup. Actually it was three model trains, one each for M, his brother, and his Dad. <BR/><BR/>We have a twiggy wreath with red berries and copper stars on our front door, that's it so far.Rosemary Riveterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09114557203546642161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23379328.post-40412939952228789712008-12-08T05:39:00.000+00:002008-12-08T05:39:00.000+00:00How I love and identify with this Post especially ...How I love and identify with this Post especially the photo copy bit! At the moment I am 'footering' (how I love that expressive word) around doing my Christmas mail sadly stroking off names no longer with us since last year.

I imagine your friends and loved ones greatly look forward to your letters.<BR/><BR/>FYI, I've moved blogs, and now have an ID which isn't associated with my name. I hope you'll feel welcome to visit the new "place", although it's rather bare and hasn't been "decorated" yet.<BR/><BR/>http://annecdotally.blogspot.com/Warty Mammalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07942793134631438689noreply@blogger.com
