Ta da! Our holiday card for 2009.
It says Happy Holidays on the outside and on the inside. But not because we’re too cool for Christmas.
In fact, we celebrate the hell out of Christmas at our house. We fix lutefisk and roll lefsa up with butter and brown sugar while playing Christmas music and saying many graces, acknowledging the blessings in our lives. We also attend Christian services to mark the birth of the lovely infant Jesus.
We have numerous albums of Christmas music, both sacred and secular, which we play with pleasure as we eat cookies (this Carla Bley CD is my Christmas CD of the year, discovered by my darling husband Dave, who knows his music). We tear into gifts. We drink champagne with family and tell each other “Merry Christmas” a lot of times.
Our annual card, however, says Happy Holidays. Because if I get behind sending out cards as I prepare for the birth of the lovely infant Jesus, I can mail a few after the 25th of December and still be ok.
I meant to post this yesterday, but got a bit off track with our celebration. It’s still the holidays, though, so Happy Holidays! Hope you’re having a great celebration yourself.

My sister Ann is so cool! I bet she’s made her holidays extra fun, because as children, Dad always made us open presents on Christmas Eve. Which sucked!
Go Ann!
