It's like getting a birthday day a couple of months before your birthday nice, but awkward.<br /><br />I agree with sending cards! Yes!

I feel the pressure of Christmas is too great as it is. Decorations in the shops, Santa's starting to position themselves in every centre, all the talk talk talk of presents and Christmas meal plans. It's coming around quicker each year and part of that I believe, is due to the fact it's in the best interests of the commercial juggernaut, to kick it off as soon as possible. I am a fan of the Chrissy card too though personally. Mind you, haven't even contemplated writing one at this point. I have a couple of weeks up my sleeve, right?!? xoAll For Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13151973819133926868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495198733430494988.post-61086194225828810002011-11-20T23:27:53.087+11:002011-11-20T23:27:53.087+11:00From the1st of December onward, its the season of ...From the1st of December onward, its the season of jolliness, at which you can start to play Xmas songs over and over and select your Xmas tree to decorate with excess. At no point before this should xmas be uttered to the under 10s, and the sending of cards should not come before this time and with absolutely no candy strapped to it, Taking away the gift of words and simple pleasures of a Xmas card in a world of sugar fed kids.<br /><br />We pur them on our mantle piece and a string across our window....<br /><br />Great post.rexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06483003532396329746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495198733430494988.post-54150121651525319902011-11-20T23:15:33.947+11:002011-11-20T23:15:33.947+11:00I'm a Christmas card fan too.

I get to send cards, it is in a rushed panic a week before Christmas, so I can get the full effects of the adrenaline rush of "will Australia Post deliver before Santa does" thing. In fact, I tend to be more a New Year greeting giver... relaxed, chilled, a bit more chatty. Maybe having my own Christmas cards to send will help. Probably not.
