Hi Linda - so glad to see your finishing school education showing out in your manner of writing letter with your cards! You are ahead of me. I have the pile of cards in front of me - waiting to be written on! |

Linda...reading your post about Xmas cards made me think about the whole process of writing cards. Do you think that people just get into the habit of writing cards and there is no feeling attached to the sending? Especially when I received ones that are obviously rushed when written. I have not written cards for a couple of years now for that reason. I only write ones for overseas and family and maybe a few very dear friends. |

You're probably right Allan - it is acceptance. |

I think it's nice to 'catch up' with a card, where the contact might 'slide' otherwise. However, some people go overboard and seem to write to anyone so that they will get a card back - then they show them off to boast about how many friends they have. Not very sincere, is it? |

Janet, In my case I find it a bit of a chore. OH does the family ones and I do the overseas ones, although there are only three of those. |

Hello, Janet. Sorry I didn't see you:-) I also only send cards to people I truly want to send them to and I try to write a personal message every time. We get a couple of cards from people who only appear to send a card because we knew them years ago through our children. I found out through the grape-vine that one couple have 3 grandchildren that we knew nothing about and they don't know about our little ones either. Yet each year we get a card off them with a quickly written "all the best". I always plan to cull my list and this year may be the one. |

Janet, I wonder about some of the cards I send as well. I only send them because they send me one. Oh well. |

Linda, travelling in the car with OH is often the only time we get to chat to each other. Yesterday we literally passed each other in the cars and waved. It was a couple of hours before we caught up and had lunch together. |

Allan...We often stay at the Atrium for a break throughout the year and sometimes at Xmas . Its far enough away for a break yet close enough to get home if we need too... |
