Things have been wonderfully busy with the added joy of the first gentle snow on December 1. What is that James Taylor song?
"The first of December was covered with snow and so was the turnpike from Stockbridge to Boston..."
And most importantly, the family card party. Not cards in the mailing sense but in th 3"x5" sense. Early in December we assemble for dinner and to fill out cards for each other with 1 to 3 gift ideas. Everyone gets a card to give to everyone else. So for example, "For Mrs. Weston, From Brother"
The tacit rules are:
We firmly believe that we are fortunate to have everything - this meaning health, loved ones, homes, and jobs. Everything else is gravy - as the saying goes. Christmas is about spending time together.
So, given this, what kinds of things were on our 3"x5s" this year? A sampling:
