Friends and Christmas cards

This year I have about zillion things to do before Christmas break. So I decided to write my Christmas cards early.

And I did that this afternoon. I brought some cards from home and I bought some newones yesterday (I coudn't resist a cute card with a cat and a dog...). So I looked up all the names and addresses from my addressbook and wrote the envelopes first. Then I picked up the perfect card for each receiver and wrote a personal note to 10 people.

These cards are on their way abroad, most of them are now on their way to America, two are headed to Sweden and one is going to UK. I have plenty of Finnish friends and familymembers to recall. I did finish two of those cards today as well, but the rest can wait.

I've always written a unique poem to my best of friends, so I want to invest nicely time to write those poems. I know for a fact that one friend of mine keeps all her cards and re-reads them ever so often, so I want to make my cards with the care they deserve. I'm not crafted with the talent to make the cards from scratch, so I write poems. That's my talent.

Now, as I walked home from the nearby Post Office, I thought just how lucky woman I am: I have friends abroad I can send cards to! And it's a blessing to have so many of them to remember. And it's a blessing to have more dear friends here at home. =)

Hmm... who will send me the first card of the season...?
