Glad I sent the Christmas Cards
Greetings:
This is a follow up to the comments I made about sending out Christmas cards. Years ago my mom asked me to include two of her best friends on my card list. To make my mom happy I did and for years I have sent these two woman a Christmas greeting. I decided to do the same this year.
I have received cards and notes back from each of my mom's friends and although difficult it was heart warming to read their notes. Both of them wrote and told me how much my mom loved me and how proud she was of everything I had accomplished. One mentioned that she knows my mom is listening to my radio show from Heaven. It was so wonderful hearing back from these woman and hearing the wonderful things they had to say about my mom. I miss her so much, it was nice to have this connection with her friends.
I have decided it is worth sending cards and staying connected. Even if I only hear from these woman once a year, it makes me feel like I have a bond with my mom through these woman she was so close to. I am back on the Christmas Card Band Wagon.

Yea! The blog made it on the newsletter so now I can just click.
As far as sending cards go, I encourage people to send updates to people they just correspond with once a year. If it has to be a form letter, so be it. It's better than nothing! At least I can find out what you're up to. But have fun with it. Practice some creative writing and make me laugh with your Christmas letter. That's something to be treasured!

You are so amazing, your Christmas letter was the best I have ever seen. Worth framing. Reminded me of how much fun it can be to create something to send out to everyone. It doesn't have to be a traditional letter, it can be a poem (I did that a couple years ago), a song or a list A-Z what happened in the year. I know I will treasure your letter and thanks for the encouragement to send out a greeting. Next year I will think of something way more creative.
