Advent Calendar of Christmas Memories: December 4


(This is post 4 in the Advent Calendar of Christmas Memories hosted by Geneabloggers.com)

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?


There will be days in this Advent Calendar series where I don'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.

I inherited my parents' habit of not sending cards. Sometimes people get really upset when you don't send cards, which makes me really not want to send them. Thankfully, my husband has taken on the task. The cards will be mailed soon.
