My Merry Christmas Card and a Present
My wall looks very bare. In past years Christmas cards lined the hallway wall, representing best wishes from family and friends.
As a child I watched as my mother proudly displayed each card after reading it. Many were filled with pictures and long notes of the year gone by. As I set up my own home and started my family, I followed in her footsteps.
Ah, but alas, the world of technology has taken over. Combine the technology of facebook and the rising cost of postage, the past few years cards have become scarce. Today, only a few cards are displayed.
Don't get me wrong, I like facebook and the world that technology has opened up. That technology has paid the bills in my home for many years.
With nearly 200 people who 'like' the "Knit and Crochet Bible Study" on facebook and over 900 on twitter, I certainly cannot use the United States Postal Service to send each of you a card. - hmmm. 1150 people times 44 cents each.....add the 2, carry the 7, double the 9..... that's $484.00!!
So I thought about a gift. If cards are nearly $500 I certainly can't send all of you a gift. BUT... what if..... I have been telling you about the yarn my father-in-law has sent me. I've heard from some who say they are jealous and would love to receive boxes like that. One person even said she'd rather have a skein of yarn than a birthday card! This got me to thinking. I am going to put together a gift package of yarn and I don't know what else. I'll find some other accessories for the package.
How do you get it?
