The Not So Daily Penguin

Saturday, December 6, 2008 - Christmas Cards!

Thanksgiving is over and it's December so it's time to look forward to Christmas. Not the "Holidays" but Christmas.

Just to drive home the point that Thanksgiving ended on Thursday, November 27th this year, I received my first Christmas card the following day! It was from a family friend in the UK. She usually sends me a Christmas card early but never as early as this. I'm grateful for the card because she's having a very rough year (her daughter is dying of breast cancer in the UK). I spotted the penguin amongst the characters on the front of the card. It would seem word gets around.

Today, I received my second Christmas card. This one was from my in-laws and my MIL wrote the message inside that included, "see you in three weeks." Yup, point taken.

As for me, I've had a first look over my Christmas card list. I've removed some people and added one or two. I'm sure I'm not alone as an expat who mails many Christmas cards overseas. In fact, I probably send more overseas than I do inland and not just to the UK but to friends in three other overseas countries.

Time to get back to Christmas activities...
