We haven't had nearly as many cards this year as usual. Maybe people couldn't get out and buy them? I do the same with the ones we receive. I check them off the master list, after confirming I hae the right address I trash the envelopes. I have a string across our slide-out and have all of the cards hanging on the string. Except yours. Yours is all by itself in a place of honor, just as a work of art should be!<br />It's snowing big fat, fluffy flakes here today. I've been shoveling periodically for the past three days but it's supposed to be so warm by the weekend that I think most of it will disappear long before Christmas.<br />Blessings,<br />BetsyBetsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00807691752817225336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-32426656971855088182020-12-15T11:11:19.378-06:002020-12-15T11:11:19.378-06:00I love Jinx's new pillow, what a nice gift!

I received a card from Betsy before Thanksgiving.. and that's the only one we've gotten in many years! All the people we know stopped sending cards long ago. Sam's pillow she sent is exactly what Jinx needed! A perfect match! Now maybe he can rest once in a while after all his runnings-around. 😉 😂Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17073882040193144070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-11813406745898858952020-12-15T10:13:52.665-06:002020-12-15T10:13:52.665-06:00Our snow is a dry one so it won't leave any re...Our snow is a dry one so it won't leave any real moisture.

And a few snowflakes still drifting down. It isn't expected to be enough to turn the ground white however. <br /><br />Your Christmas card and letter were delightful!! But the best letter we've received this year was the tiny strip of paper that said "nothing happened at the Nelson's this year!". That was the whole letter in a half inch wide strip. Sure made us laugh! I have just a few cards to send out yet - hopefully by the end of the week.
