I kept asking the kids where all the mail was and nobody knew. It's been so crazy around here w/ all the extra Christmas activities that dear hubby was stockpiling the mail - in an apparently undisclosed location!

FINALLY, yesterday, one of my daughters found it, sorted it, and told me I had what appeared to be Christmas cards addressed just to me - quite odd she thought!

Like Christmas coming early, with my oldest daughter declaring me "such a nerd" and smiling as I opened each card, I gleefully opened cards from Jen, Jo, Ocean and Claytonsbass! It was the perfect moment of respite in a crazy, baking, wrapping, Christmas logistics day - and just what I needed. LOVED my cards and just like U2 - you all touch my heart and soul and make me SMILE!! Love you guys!
I'm working on my cards for you now. My "creative" ideas will have to wait until next year. I'd rather have the cards postmarked Christmas Eve than after Christmas because now I simply cannot wait to send you a card too.
Merry Christmas!!! Rejoice! Emmanuel!
