A Christmas Tradition

We had rain early today so we followed our plan to address our Christmas cards. Hubby and I have our own lists of recipients since we married later in life. He sends to most of our mutual friends and does about 2/3s of our total list of approximately 100. I write the annual letter and will tackle that on our next rainy day. Blip journaling should make it easy this year. My sister wrapped the gifts we’ve gathered for our mother and our neighbor around the ridge. She also wrapped her gifts for our BIL who has a birthday next week. Hubby read, worked puzzles and finished a load of laundry. My sister and I visited with the neighbor and her sons. She looks forward to our visits; it is hard to leave her but we always promise to return. Our BIL was busy outside all day, only coming in for lunch. We’ll try to finish our leftovers tonight and start fresh tomorrow. All seems fine at home. Wishing you peace, calm, safety and good health. Thanks for dropping by. “The tradition of Christmas cards began in Britain in 1843, just after the introduction of the first national postal service, the "penny post", which started in 1840. Today, almost 200 years later, Christmas cards– sometimes known as New Year cards – are a tradition all over the world, and not only in Christian countries.” - Linguapress
