Totally Informal Transglobal Challenge: "Christmas Card"
Music by Manheim Steamroller

Merry Christmas to each and every one of you
and may the new year be all that you hope it to be.


Each year we like to write a Christmas letter to our friends. From that we fashion a 12-page booklet which becomes our Christmas card.

Every year I put off writing the letter and creating the booklet until the last possible moment. And every year it is when I finally sit down and write the first draft of the booklet that I start getting into the Christmas spirit. It is funny how that works. Maybe I should start on the letter a little earlier in the season.
This year, awesomely talented Jill made chocolate candy as gifts.

They are magnificently delicious.
