I just received my first Christmas Card today. I KNOW-I'm thinking the same thing! Thanksgiving isn't even in sight--it's October 8th for crying out loud!
.....Wait, what exactly were you thinking? Were you perhaps the tiniest bit impressed, more than a little annoyed at the timing, w/a little sprinkle of "what in the world" thrown in the mix? If so, then we are definitely on the same page. Now to this family's credit, the word "Christmas" didn't appear on the card. That being said, the "holiday wishes" were there, accompanied by little white snowflakes and the yearly family update. Goodness, I'm still trying to adjust to the Fall season, I'm not sure I'm ready to think about Christmas.
Then again, who I am to cast stones? I confessed publicly on Facebook this past Tuesday that I did indeed listen to a few Christmas songs that morning. In my defense it was by accident (I was doing the ipod shuffle), but I admit these songs made me smile. So maybe this family has it right, and they have captured a way to extend a glorious season of celebration. Perhaps I should get an early start on Christmas cards as well!
....nah, let's not take it that far! =)

ReplyDeleteWow, yes that is early and wow, good for them for getting on the ball. From one who has sent out Christmas cards only two years in my life. It is a nice reminder that I might want to get on that early so it doesn't sneak up on me and I let another year pass. :)
ReplyDeleteok for some reason now this thing thinks I am Carlos but it really is me :)
