I don't know if I'm gonna send any Christmas cards this year--is this a passe custom? Does anyone do it but old ladies anymore? Every year I send fewer and fewer and receive fewer too. The increasing price of stamps doesn't help.
I have a friend who never forgets my birthday, Christmas etc. She sends me e-mail greetings, but it is not the same as getting that card in the mail.

Over the years I got a card every Christmas from a nurse I worked with--what's funny is that when we worked together she was a bitch, and there was no love lost between us--but she is the one nurse who unfailingly sent a card and a note about her family. After missing a couple of years, I saw her daughter who told me her mother had developed dementia.

I once knew a woman who was so organized--or compulsive--that she had her Christmas shopping done by August. She shopped throughout the year and had a closet with neatly stacked goods she'd bought and had ready. She told me she mailed her Christmas cards on December 1st without fail.

Anyway, I can't decide if I'm gonna card or not this year. How about you? susil
