Merry Christmas!

I'm finishing writing Christmas cards. I said writing...as in sitting with pen and paper not a computer and keyboard.

I am noticing that the amount of cards that I am writing seems to be getting less each year.  Perhaps I know less people or less people feel the need to send me a card...heh it works both ways...lol.

I have been out of circulation for a few years now. Not having a daily job to go to and living the life of a semi-hermit, writer, dad ,driver, husband, volunteer, videographer, dog walking retired state worker, former business owner, landscaper, cook, salesman, paperboy....ok ..stopppp....I'm not going to list all of the 50plus 

different

 jobs that I have had in my life here....now. (If I haven't done that in blog I will soon...lol)  But this and other things lead to less card writing.

After finishing my last yuletide greeting I thought about the next time that I will take pen to paper and write a greeting to somebody....probably a year from right now.

If I was more digitally engaged in the process like many of my friends I could do all of this ,like everything else, on the computer with a picture and the use of an Internet photo greeting service. They look great and are very creative but for some reason I am to lazy to use them or I have this need to use up all of my previous years hand written, probably Job Lot bought, greeting cards before I too make the transition to the digital greeting card age.

Before I go there, and I will once the envelopes don't fit the old cards, I will enjoy the physical sense of actually 

writing. 

I may actually do more of it

in another form. I'm thinking of crafting a few letters....yes actually paper, pen, words, envelope and stamp letters. So if I have your address ....lookout...another invasion of my thoughts and ramblings may becoming to your mailbox along with the rest of your junk mail.

Cheers and Merry Christmas!
