Addressing Christmas cards is a humbling and enlightening experience. Humbling because you suddenly realize how blessed you are to have friends and family and how fortunate you are to have time, energy, and resources to participate in this activity of connection. Enlightening because you find that people have moved or gotten married or had some change happen that affects your address book in some major way.
I sat in the chair by the lighted Christmas tree with Sugar curled up at my feet. Gathered about me were boxes of cards, address labels (with snowmen and elves and ornament designs) and stamps (the Nativity one this year). First I made out cards to my family. That took half a box. Then to friends. By the time I had finished, I was humming Christmas carols. Yes, the season this year is shaping up nicely despite the financial crunch. Now all I need is a nutmeggy cup of eggnog.
