at work i am sometimes referred to as the grinch. just because i don't want to listen to christmas music for 2 months, i feel that one tree per home is plenty, and you will certainly not see any blow up things in my yard... does that mean that i don't enjoy christmas? of course not. we do have a tree (prelit with minimal decorations), stockings for all the furry children (that i have yet to put names on), christmas vacation is always watched, we give decent presents that are well wrapped with care, and christmas cards are definitely important. i have always loved getting mail... the kind that doesn't include bills... so therefore i must send the cards in order to receive them. and i am a big fan of the photo cards. this year i decided to get in on the craze with a card of our own.
maybe there is something more useful i could spend that stamp money on and maybe it's not so great for the environment... but to me it would not be christmas without the joy of getting a tiny reconnection with someone you don't see as often as you would like.
merry CHRISTmas to all!

Ok Renee-So MAYBE you arent the biggest Grinch I know-HAHAHA! I guess I can officially call myself the Christmas Card Grinch cause we all know that I am the only one at the office who did not intend to send them out until I was constantly harrassed about my lack of Christmasness.
ReplyDeleteHa! I read this and laughed out loud - we ARE SO ALIKE! now i know how you spent so much time with me!
ReplyDeletewe have no blow up santas and i am SO EXCITED when i get mail that is not an advertisement or bill...argh!
i always feel bad about the environment with my Christmas cards, but i CAN'T resist! i loved yours this year - it was totally YOU!
we have presents for the boys also
poor andy decorated the tree this year - i actually LOVE it but lately i have trouble getting up the energy to make it happen. i think if Christmas was ALL i had going on, i would feel differently, but i come home drained and it's like "really?"
i differ from you on the music though- i could hear the ones i like ALL YEAR!
