Thanks for the Trivia ~ very interesting.
And yes, we send out cards every year, but none of them are worth $40,000 dollars! I’ll never look at Christmas cards the same again…

Michelle you sure beat the average number of cards! 120 , wow. I do love reading the form letters though and especially like it when they add a sentence in actual handwriting on the bottom. Really is convenient. and love that your have a 5 year ‘helper”. yes others really do appreciate hearing from us.

I LOVE your Christmas card ritual, Jean. You amaze me — a prayer for each recipient. You are such a blessing to so many. I’ve never thought of praying while I write my cards, but it is a lovely, lovely idea.

I do send cards — about 120/year. But I do the dreaded form letter, so it’s a little easy on the hand. And I have a 5-year-old helper who stamps — this year I had to peel off several stamps from the wrong side of the envelope! I sort of dread the whole process…but I know my friends and family far away do appreciate hearing from us at least once a year (most of them live in New England, while we are now in Nebraska).

Nice meeting a new friend on here today. Yes I do think we do love getting the cards too and know that others are thinking of us. I think the connecting with people even if only once a year is important.

Yes, I do send cards, tho’ each year it seems less and less. But I do love getting them. If I write them with a prayer, it would be more of an event. Thanks Jeanie!

Hello new friend! I just stopped by my blog and read your comment. Thank you it's a pleasure to meet you.
Hubby has told me to get off the internet now as I broke the front door earlier when I tried to open it...it was iced up...and now he needs a hand to mend it. No more blog reading for today but look forward to visiting you again often.
I am following on network blogs now too.

Hi I’ve stumbled across your lovely blog and I now am your latest follower and admirer.
I am only sending a few cards this year with all the news of our family over the last year. I find more and more people are barely able to sign the card as they have so many to write. don’t really agree with that.
Please feel free to drop by my blog and follow if you wish.
Warmest wishes.

I’m not a regular card sender, but I’m doing it this year. Hopefully I’ll get into a rhythm with it. I do think it’s a nice gesture to friends and family.
