Yesterday was a banner day at the mailbox - six cards - 4 from lighthouse friends and 2 family cards. I have enjoyed all of the cards this exchange - I'm ready to do it again next year.

Dave , just to let you know, the clear envelopes were my regular Christmas Cards. The black envelopes were for the Holiday Card exchange. I had my nephews (6 & 8) helping me and I didn't look for duplicate names until after they had put stamps on all the envelopes. So a few lucky people will get two cards instead of one.

Ruthie, I loved your card. Poinsettias always remind me of the holidays. Even in the middle of summer.
