The first big snow of the year arrived Saturday night, leaving 7+ inches on the ground Sunday morning.
All sorts of things were cancelled, including Sunday Church and Monday schools.
It was a window of opportunity for us to get the Christmas card ritual in full swing.
Cards and address books and stamps and address labels and the like were all assembled.
A Christmas newsletter was written, folded, and put in some of the cards.
A short handwritten note was included in most of the cards.
It is fun.
It is a lot of work.
It is a most worthwhile thing to do.
One of the reasons why it is important is that the ritual causes us to think about folks for a few minutes, to remember our relationships. The ritual is a reminder that we are not alone, that we share the world with a lot of really good people.
So, send out your cards. Be proud of yourself. Put a note in all of them and a newsletter in some of them.
Most recipients will thank you.
We read all cards and newsletters we get with great interest.
We know that a note and a newsletter take time to write.
We know that the writers care about us.
Merry Christmas to all who have sent them to us.
