Hello,
I am so good at procrastinating that I
still have not produced a Christmas letter. Surely it could have been done
before Christmas. It will be done before Christmas, but not in anyone’s mailbox
before Christmas. Oh well, we all like to get mail at anytime, right? I was a
bit jealous to receive Christmas cards right after Thanksgiving. Boy some of
you are just too organized. Actually I have written two letters, but not
approved of either. I wanted to write the Christmas letter of the century and
it did not flow from my fingers or my brain or wherever it comes from. Leroy
thought one letter was fine, but I thought it was much too serious. After all we live “light and humorous” lives. I
have set a deadline for myself. Today will be it, since I do not want to drive
anywhere and do anything as the rubber will meet the ice in one place or
another. No off putting excuses are making themselves known.
No shopping for this chick today. Leroy
assures me that he will not cry if I do not procure enough presents for under
the tree, be sad maybe, but not cry.
Technology is good as Leroy and I just
realized that I can email the Christmas letter to him to “proof” or add to and
he can get it printed at work where they charge a small fee. It will not be on
the Christmas paper that I have moved at least once, but maybe twice. Paper
that I said I would not move again, I will probably move it again. I do have
some stickers here and I can decorate the final result on plain paper. I have a
few cards and they will be mailed because I said, “I am not moving these again.”
A possible household move looming on the horizon certainly changes one’s perspective
on the importance of some items. Perhaps the real message that I have been
ignoring, is “lighten the load, Paula”. Instead I thought the message was, “Don’t
get too attached to places, there is more to learn.”
Have a good safe day.
Paula
