WRITING AND WRAPPING in Postcards 4

It’s been a lot of delight to find holiday photos this morning. I only have pictures by year from 1999. Lots of family things though. Yes, it’s really a pleasure to watch them all grow every year. It’s not so joyful to watch you and your kids get wrinkles.

It’s fun to see the holiday colors and the fun. I so enjoy this aspect of the season. The artistic side of me really enjoys the tree and all the rest of it. I’m not too OCD about it, but I love my trees every year.

Today is the basic stuff. A few holiday cards to sign…my hand no longer works for long stretches of writing. A few holiday presents to wrap. That’s it…what a difference from the days when six or seven grandkids came to eat and open presents on Christmas Eve. Margot does have a schedule now, and she has Christmas Day off. We will have breakfast with her this year, and we will open a few things that wait under the tree.

But only if I get to wrapping….
