I’ve just solved my no-time-for-Christmas-cards dilemma by deciding to send out New Year’s cards in the middle of January. And my lack of presents for certain beloved family members (due to my grandiose idea of making the presents myself) – has been solved by assuring them that gifts will show up sometime in January and will be well worth the wait.
Have a wonderful holiday everybody. Read a good book, eat delicious food, listen to music and hang out with people you love. Enjoy!
Have a wonderful & Merry Christmas and a Blessed & prosperous New Year Barbara!

I will do all of these -- read a good book, eat good food and enjoy my family. Have a Merry Christmas and new year, Barbara!

Oh my gosh, just last night, I resolved to send out New Year's greetings; and just yesterday, I signed 3 notes (overnighted to the tune of $17.50 each) with the note, "I'm making a treat for you that I promise will arrive by February 1st." . . . to see your post here is a serendipitous reminder that I need to be reading your blog more often! Thanks, Barbara. Merry Christmas to you!
