Christmas Cards?

I grew up in a family that did not send out Christmas cards. My mom always had good intentions. She even bought cards a few times, but never managed to accumulate the addresses and sit down to send them. I guess that's why in ten years of marriage I've never made the effort either.
I love to receive the cards from family and friends. It is great to read about what everyone is doing and see how much their children have grown. I worry that they'll give up on me and stop sending cards if we don't reciprocate. So this is a plea to all our friends who go the extra mile and send us fantastic cards every year.....Have patience with us! One of these days we'll get our act together and send Christmas cards too. Just not this year.
