Day 1 - Snail Mail

My grandmother was wonderful at sending cards and notes through the mail. But I'm a product of the electronic age - email is more my speed. Oh, who am I kidding? Even as a child I procrastinated sending thank you notes. I loved receiving things in the mail but I was terrible at sending them.

And this time of year? Oh the joy in receiving snail mail holiday cards! With pictures, without pictures, with annoying brag letters or not. I love them all. Even just a signature is fine with me. It means you were thinking of us. I used to be annoyed if a handwritten note wasn't inside. But now that I'm married with children I am fully aware of the distractions that can keep you from being more personable. And now, there are so many people that don't even bother to slap a stamp on something that I'll take what I can get. And today? Three little bundles of joy arrived in my mailbox today! So today, I'm finding joy in snail mail.
