Prompt: December 4 - Christmas Cards
Did your family send cards? Did your family display the ones they received? Do you still send Christmas cards? Do you have any cards from your ancestors?
Remember how I told you there would be days in this Advent Calendar series where I wouldn't have very good answers for the questions? This is one of those days.
My parents were not card senders. As far as I can remember, neither were my grandparents.
We did receive cards. They were propped on the book shelves in the living room. Later on, my mom kept cards in a basket. In fact, she still does this.
Normally I send cards, but I think I'll take this year off. When the holiday gets to be a chore, it's time to cut back. The cards are part of that effort. Sorry. :/
Amy,
ReplyDeleteThe holidays are becoming more and more of a chore for me too. I did send Christmas cards, but I'm refusing to decorate again this year. I have considered stopping my own Christmas card sending, but chose to send cards again this year to illicit some stories from my relatives for my genealogy research. I'm enjoying reading all of your memories.
