Remember the days when you would go to your mailbox and it would be filled with Christmas cards? Those days are sure over. I took for granted that I would hear from all my friends and relatives during the holidays. Now I cherish each card that I receive and read the verses over and over.

I hear from my sister-in-law Rose a few times a year. I love getting her cards. She takes time to write about what is going on in her life and she is always sincere. I have another friend who sends hand-made cards and those are my favorites.

I have a great rapport with many of the direct supervisors that I have had over the years. I can count on getting a card from Kerri and Abigail and a Christmas letter from Jim. Somehow the work relationships morphed into personal relationships and I am quite blessed to have these people in my life. I have shared more personal information with them than I have with my brother and sister.

As Christmas cards delivered in your mail dwindle with each passing year, make sure you take time to really enjoy them this year.
