I love me some Christmas cards

I have always been a big card person. Birthday cards. Anniversary cards. Christmas cards. I love them all.

It took my husband a few years to figure this out ... but now we are good to go. Ahem.

The other day I was moving some older pictures off of my laptop and onto my external drive ... and I came across our old Christmas cards.

I have a metal thingamajig that holds all of the Christmas cards we get each year. I love having them compiled in one place and the kids love looking at them.

Are you a card person ... or am I just really high maintenance? Don't answer the last part of that question.

  6. Yup, I'm a card person too. In fact in one of my Christmas letters one year I started by asking, "Who started this whole Christmas card thing, I could just hug 'em because I LOVE getting updates on all of you"...or something like that :)!!! My metal thingamajig is christmas tree shaped, I love the way it fills out when all the cards come in the mail.

  11. Your cards are adorable! So, I'm itching to know, what happened with the person on eBay that bought the Zhu Zhu pets? I have made that shipping error myself!

  12. For some reason, I don't care as much about xmas cards, but LOVE cards for other occasions - especially cards sent for no special reason. I love to send cards as well as receive. Funny how a folded piece of thin cardboard can make a person's day!

  13. i love love love cards, and all types. i particularly love receiving the holiday cards and have clearly passed that on to my 4 year old (he waits for the mail each day around christmas). i find them so heartwarming and i love to see everyone's families and lives. outside of holidays, i love to send cards too. so you're not alone (and to part b, no NOT high maintenance!).
