Jinxed or Unloved???

Maybe I shouldn't have said, "If you love me, send me a Christmas card."

Too much emotional investment cuz now after I posted about my LOVE of receiving Christmas cards I've only received 2 more...in a week.

Just imagine me going to my mailbox each day in the hopes of ONE card, just one and then walking home in the cold, bitter wind...empty-handed.

Pretty sad, huh?

If that doesn't just break your heart...

I was sure that throwing that out there would be an affirmation to the power of positive thinking (you know, shamelessly using the "secret" to my advantage) but I think all I managed to do was jinx myself. Which, believe it or not, is pretty typical.

You may be thinking, well, what about you? Have you sent out any Christmas cards this year?
...AND my answer would be a giant... YES! So, loved ones, check your mail cuz I've spent the better part of the past 3 days addressing, licking, and sticking. All for you!
I still have more to do but trust me they ARE coming.

I didn't know this about me, but, I guess Christmas cards are MY love language.

I'm sorry but you didn't make the cut

We took our "Christmas" picture way, way back in the month of October. I thought maybe it would be less stressful. NOPE!
These are some of the pictures we loved but didn't make it onto the official family Christmas card.

Sending Love

I went to the mailbox yesterday and there were 7 Christmas cards and, Oh, how I love Christmas cards!!!
I carefully separated the cards from the other mail and set that all aside while I joyfully opened each envelope.

What other time of year are you able to go to your mailbox and get heaps of happy mail? Packages? Gifts?

...in the mail!!!

I've been inspired and stayed up late trying to get our Christmas card ready to be sent.
I don't always do the Christmas letter thing (in fact, I think I only attempted it once) but I love getting a card or a picture from the people we love.

If I get just one card a day until Christmas I'm a happy girl!
So, thankyou to those of you that are on top of things...
and remember...
if you love me...
Send me a Christmas card!!!
