Deliver the letter, the sooner the better...

I'm a huge fan of Christmas cards!! I LOVE getting them and I religiously send them every year. (I also religiously send thank you notes, address changes, and invitations - in the electronic era, I still believe some occasions warrant snail mail! However, I am not sending paper invitations to our upcoming housewarming/birthday extravaganza - if you're reading this blog, you're invited Dec 8th - you'll just need to call for directions if you haven't been here yet. I digress...)

I was super prepared with the Christmas cards this year! We did the photo cards last year and I totally loved them! The family likes the picture (including the pets of course), old friends know what I look like so if we run into each other somewhere we recognize each other, and I don't have to actually write on the card. :)

Prior to my surgery, the hubby and I took pictures in Colorado for the card in the event that I ended up losing more of my hair than expected. When I got home from Colorado I ordered the cards, addressed them, stamped them, and had them all ready to go - before Thanksgiving!!! I literally had the hubby drop them in the mail on the way home from Thanksgiving dinner. The bad part to being so prepared? I've lost a good 20 pounds since my surgery (after all I've consumed this week - maybe 15?), so I look huge in the card photo...oh well, I'll just look that much more thin when people see me :)
