No Time For Christmas Cards

I won’t say it is is a Christmas Fail (unlike the Christmas Cake I mentioned yesterday) but more of a conscious decision to not stress about Christmas cards this year. I usually try to get them out in the second week of December, but I just didn’t have time this year. Too much travel, too many family responsibilities, general holiday busyness of shopping, parties and events. Plus, the insanity that is the end of academic semester…. it just wasn’t going to happen. So to my family and friends who normally get my Christmas card and to all of you lovely folks that somehow find this blog interesting enough to subscribe to…. here is what my card would have been:

For the record, the eleven line is my favorite. I hope each of you have a very wonderful and happy Christmas. I am looking forward to time with some family, reading the books I bought my Dad for Christmas (yep I got him books I also want to read- I am either a horrible person or just very economical. He’ll love them though and think they are great), a walk on the dam and one very yummy Christmas dinner of prime rib. Turkey is for Thanksgiving in this family.

Merry Christmas!

Also- for those of you who are family, tomorrow is Thursday. Therefore, my Throwback Thursday will be Christmas edition from Christmases past. Tune in.
