Sending Love and Cheer.

One of my favorite things about Christmas time, is the cards that we get in the mail from our friends, family, and loved ones.

The entire month of December, I actually get excited to get the mail, other then December, the mail can sit in the box for a week at a time.

Can you blame me, who wants bills or junk mail?

Dan and the kids know that I get to open and read the card before anyone else in the family.

There is something about a Christmas letter or card that brings happiness to me.

I enjoy reading what the past year has brought others, but my favorite part is the family pictures which are in the card.

Pictures are a must.

With the convinces of the internet, blogs, and facebook, it is way more easy and cheaper I may add, to "send" a holiday wish or Christmas cheer viral.

BUT I hopefully will always be able to send in the real "snail mail," with a stamp and all, our Springer Christmas card; that is a goal of mine.

It is something that I remember as a kid and something I look forward to every year.

May the tradition of Christmas card sending never die and the gift of sending love and cheer in the mail will continue on.
