I find myself once again behind, so I will resort to some shorter "gems," if you will. :)
Christmas cookies sit
on my plate now twice a day.
SO worth one late night.
Wrapping presents was
a chore when I started, but
now it's a pleasure.
Giving something nice
to people I love so much
is worth some effort.
Christmas cards should not
be a dying tradition,
in my opinion.
I send out a lot
and am always sad to see
so few in return.
I would understand
if there were a modernized
replacement, but no.
I guess people feel
more connected day-to-day
with social networks.
But there is nothing
like seeing handwritten notes
from people I like.
Call me old-fashioned,
but I still greatly enjoy
good old sing-alongs.
This is the season
when I really get a pang,
missing my old choirs.
