A Not So Secret Obsession

My VCR version of A Christmas Carol.

The holiday season begins today. I consider the watching of A Christmas Carol with George C. Scott to be a holiday tradition. One that evokes the Christmas spirit—at least in me. Since other family members do not share my passion for the movie, I usually watch it alone. I'm not sure why I enjoy this version of the movie. I just do.

A cup up of freshly brewed coffee will accompany me during today's viewing.

I usually wrap gifts or put the finishing touches on the tree while watching the movie but neither will be my focus today. I will be working on my Christmas cards.

There is a website called Heritage Makers that allows you to make your own cards (The deadline is December 7th for Ground Delivery and Priority Mail, which is the cheapest way to go.). You have the option of using a template or blank card. My niece, Jennifer, and sister-in-law, Sue, are representatives for the company—and good ones at that.

I was in the post office yesterday and overheard a woman grumbling about how she hasn't been able to find Christmas cards that aren't made in China. (I know they're out there somewhere.) I felt inclined to share the above information with her.
