Traditions

One of my favorite traditions of Christmas is receiving the letters, cards, and pictures from family and friends. I remember when I was young pouring over the letters and pictures my parents received from family and friends. Over the years, I got to know these people - what a treasure!

Now, as we have been a few places we have collected a few friends as well as family that we exchange letters and cards with each Christmas. I do so appreciate finding out how they are - their ups and downs over the year. As I prepared our picture this year, I looked at my children and asked when did they grow to be so tall? (Sounds of Fiddler on the Roof?) It seems only yesterday they were little. I marvel how we all age (and just get better looking, right?!).

I hope all of you send a card or letter to those you have had contact with over the years. And send one to me.:o)
