I think the rise in postage has also made it hard for people to mail so many cards out. I think I heard USPS prices will increase again with the start of 2024. |

Yes prices will be going up again soon. Sad because it makes you mail something less often.

This is why I rarely do swaps anymore. It's quite ridiculous as the service has not improved. |

No sad to say they have not which hurts the smaller offices that do care! |

USPS Service is the pits! They keep raising rates but lowering service standards. And I mailed something in a priority envelope on Friday, and my receipt says it would be delivered Monday - 2 days ago; I checked today and it was just delivered today!!! 2 days later than it said. You just can't trust the USPS. |

They don't guarantee a certain delivery day either anymore. |

Is everyone ready? I hope each of you has found time to slow down and enjoy this very special time of year. I pray each of you are blessed in the coming year. We are and are spending time with our son this year.  |

Trying to slow down. LOL! Family Christmas was last night, so now to put away all the Christmas dishes, clean up the house a bit, return the highchair we borrowed for Dawson to use last night, and rest a little. My hips have been hurting me more than usual, maybe because of the humidity and weather, and hope that in a month I can do all the walking necessary in Vietnam.

One of my brothers once fell asleep behind the bedroom door while waiting to catch a glimpse of Santa Clause. Mom found him when she checked to be sure all were sleeping before they brought out the presents. LOL! |

I love these darling photos, Denise! The old graphics still seem to be timeless in their message and their graphics. So cute to revisit. |

Now that Christmas is past, we settle in for the winter season and look forward to the celebrations it holds. In winter, I find the best of joys in simply being at home, where we are warm and comfortable. "Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire: it is the time for home." ~Edith Stilwell
Have A Wonderful Day!

I love the snow scenes. Wish we'd get some snow- I love seeing the white blanket of snow in the morning, and in Texas we don't get that very much. |

Denise, I love that photo and the quote that goes with it. That house makes it look like the perfect place to find warmth and refuge from long cold winters. |

"And snow falls down on me. Peace on earth. The night is dark and soft. Peace on earth. The lights that sparkle in the square, The smoke the lingers in the air. Peace on earth.
And grace falls down on me. Peace on earth. The dark will turn aside. Peace on earth. The fires that burn in ev'ry hearth Do sing out praise of Christmas past. Peace on earth.
Hear them singing. Peace on earth."
~'Peace on Earth," by Errollyn Wallen
