This is the second year I opted out of sending Christmas cards. I think maybe next year I might be ready to get back in the game. For now, this will do just fine don’t you think?
THANK YOU to everyone who takes the time to read, to comment, to email. You are all a part of my life. A very fun part of my life.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.

- christmas cards are SO twentieth century. :o) we email a .pdf letter and then donate the money we would have given to hallmark and the post office to a charity. it works.
- And Bon Fete, to you guys!!
- Great photo.. Happy Holidays to you and your family Tara...and all the best in the new year
- Merry Christmas to you and yours!
- Hey Tara! I have been stressing the past 2 days b/c I had my cards done, but never got them printed and its too late to send them b/c I have a zillion things to do. I was really upset b/c this is the first year I didn't send them. I am handing some out to close family and friends and I sent one via email to my other friends/family, but its bugging me! Next year they will be in the mail the day after Thanksgiving! You made me feel better though! THanks! Merry Christmas to you and your family!!
- I was actually thinking that this might be my last year of sending out an actual card and letter. I really like Sarah's idea...we will probably do that next year. Merry Christmas Whitney family! And a wonderful new year!
