Now checking in on your blogs, nice to hear about some of what some normal living in the US was, very good, I appreciate this! Being an immigrant, we did not have a phone until I was 13 yrs old and the tv we had in Sydney was stolen, so no more tv until we got to the us. So interesting to read how people felt about cards and such. We always just enjoyed receiving them and sending them. It is nice to stay connected with those so far away. I still enjoy sending cards (yes, do ecards too) it makes me remember our times together and all. Thank you Sandra, very much for your blogs. Paula

Hi Toni — So glad you enjoy the blogs. I like your idea of designing your own cards. Alas, I lack both talent and patience for card designs. Enjoy the holidays.

Also amused to know Christmas cards have their roots in pragmatism and base commercial motives:). Receive mercifully few cards these days (moving continents no doubt helped), none of them perfunctory, and I enjoy painting watercolour or doing intricate calligraphy cards in response. Fascinating blog, as ever Sandra, thank you.
