pretty cards. I have one Aunt who always sends the prettiest card every year. Her writing is so neat too. No long letter just a gorgeous card. I try to follow in her footsteps but my writing is not nearly as neat. 
I don't think my cards are quite as fancy either but hey, I can always try. I decorate with mine. I hang 'em up in a card holder thingy. I pix of kids, all my nieces and nephews and friend's kids.
Mine would go something like this:
Dear friends:
Thought you'd like to hear the latest from our family. Well, here goes.
We've all been flossing regularly.
The newspaper landed in the bushes twice, but we got it out, thank goodness dad has those long arms.
They put a new gas station on the corner. It's the self-serve kind so there's been a lot of talk around town about it.
The other night we took the whole family to the pancake house for dinner. We all had pancakes except for mom. She had a waffle. She's a free spirt, you know.
We're saving up to buy a goldfish and can hardly wait. Pets are very exciting. And if not, you can flush them down the toliet.
Our kid finished his milk today. No one noticed we're using margarine instead of butter.
It's pretty cloudy here. Sometimes we watch tv. Other times we don't.
We may go shopping this weekend at the mall. There are forty-one stores there. So far we've been to twenty-eight. Thirteen to go. Unless they build more. They probably will. They always do.
That's about it for the big news.
It's been some heck of a year. How about you?
Love and all
:funn:
Mine would be very similar. Except, I would have to add that I went to the Ballet with Kitty.

i looove to send cards - as some of you know ......
I HATE, HATE, HATE to send Xmas Cards. I never understood why you need to send one to some people you speak to frequently. Seems silly, and if I get one that has been pre-printed with the family name on the bottom and the Word mailing list in the computer, WTH? why bother.
Ridiculous. If someone is going to send a card, it should be from the heart and a hand written greeting should be in it or at least signed by the sender.
Off Rant.
I try to send Christmas cards each each year. This year I have decided to make all my cards. On Thanksgiving, all the family will be making cards. Should be funn!
If you are interested, I could send you a few sites that your granddaughter would enjoy. PM me if you want them.
I glittery or shiny or all one color mostly. This year I got glittery 'Santa in the sleigh' flyin' over rooftops. It makes me feel good to send cards. I would rather talk to everybody but, it's about 50 people. Hopefully, we'll speak throughout the year but we don't always, cousins afar, etc.

) included in our yearly wrapup. I usually get caught up in writing long notes to people I don't see and then getting to "S" and giving up. Our card list is very long now and it is a project! Although a lot of the S-Z people hate us now, so maybe we should drop them. :scratch: Or write even longer notes. :shock:Mangy--I SO wish I had your name in the ornament exchange!
Why? I don't think you and Mr. DD could top last years ornaments and how personal they were. Still have them hanging in my office.
and TFT, I like your card style. I say to hail with S-Z and enjoy the holiday.
haver to add the oddest newsletter I ever got included this from a woman I haven't spoken to in 14 years..........
I lost my spleen, but I am still peachy keen.
Great line for a holiday poem!
Right up there with...
I am poaching my liver, does that make you quiver?

Because I would make it ENTIRELY out of Christmas cards!!
ok, if it's from you... just no group family shots of anyones kids who are in college already. WTH, I get one every year from someone who lives a few doors away from the Clintons. They send a pic of their 3 sons in college with cajoling each other like a scene from My Three Sons, when afterward I know they are going be wrestling each other to the door Edited
