Thanks for your post on Xmas above, that all sounds lovely!
A friend of mine sends me an email and attaches some xmas art work from her smalls for me to see every xmas instead of a card. I like this and it saves her a lot of postage! She does it for evnironmental reasons though and donates a little to charity.

Thank you

The ideas on Xmas cards are good. I like the email idea. We don't send many cards to be honest. Mainly online friends however last year we never got the chance to send and I felt so guilty and still do
We don't really send family cards etc and even more so this year now we've cut a lot of people out.
PLMBL any books really. They like anything especially being such different ages.
