Christmas cards...

[fajrdrako]

I'm having a wonderful time with my incoming Christmas cards this year.

Most years, I don't know what to do with them. I've done all the usual tricks - hanging them on the wall, putting them on bookshelves, even once threading them through the strings of my harp.

This year, I decided to make a scrapbook. I paste the cards in, with a note as to who it's from and when it arrived - sometimes specifying how I know the person, or what pseudonyms I know the person under. If they send a letter or a photo I put that in, too. Sometimes if the stamp is foreign or interesting, I add that, and I paste their return address inside the card.

Don't know why I'm enjoying this so much; I think I must just be a naturally born scrapbooker. My mother was, too.
