Christmas Cards

I have never been much on christmas cards. My family never did them, they lamented and felt awful as if they were personally responsible for a holiday ruined, but still never really bought or sent out cards. Last year I decided that I would send New Years cards. Not super traditional but still having some merriment of the season. I still have them, unopened in their original package. Tough to make an "8" look like a "9" without having color match white out.

I am more inclined to get Kwanzaa or Hannakah cards I think then traditional christmas cards. Or maybe I should make my own cards, been known to do that, and solve all my worries. Something like, "I hope you don't have another Donner Party experience this year. Enjoy your holiday travels." Something like that. Or, "Hey, have a good one." Simple but with feeling. And this card could be sent out any time - January, February, May!

But what this all really gets back to is my skewed sense of time. I am one of those time flies people and cannot remember if something happened 1-month or 4-months ago unless I know a specific date and have a calendar handy. It was not until yesterday that I realized how close christmas is. I was thinking it was like, 2 or 3 weeks away. Not true, like a week away. So me remembering that christmas is coming or that I need to send out cards, now that would be a miracle.
