Received from @mere5oh a Christmas Cooking & Celebration illustration. The only item I have not made is the Christmas pudding. Thank you for the festive card and enjoy the Luminaria Tour! I bet it will be gorgeous. :grinning:

Thanks to @normajean for the adorable Blue Cats card. It’s so funny, that I’m really not a „cat person“ but I just love these Blue Cats cards. I have not read “Beartown” books, I will have to look into them, thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks to @DCMdVa for the cute Winter village scene. I imagine Washington DC must look beautiful lit up at Christmas time.

I’m so glad I checked my mailbox when turning in my apartment keys! Mail was supposed to be forwarded starting yesterday but the box was full of cards; including many for this RR.

@sraelling such a cute card and Idea! I might be stealing it!
@normajean love the snowman!
@Torchwood3 I don’t know the last time I actually went grocery shopping! My partner does it all and my parents hosted Thanksgiving!
@carolreader We had a “shorts and t-shirts” thanksgiving…as usual!
@teddypostcrossing I love the month of December as a school OT! So many crafts to choose from!
@NittanyLionRI Oh so many memories with the coca cola bear commercials!

Received two cards today!

@DCMdVa - Christmas Stitch, thank you! I love this card, so cute! I used to make gingerbread houses with my grandma, but we haven’t had a holiday with her in a long time (distance), so it’s now a fun pastime. She has her own family recipe for it and I miss the smells in the kitchen.

@NittanyLionRI - Holly Jolly Raccoon, thank you! Love your ornament traditions. Our tree is full of ornaments my mom made, gifts and ones my brother and I hand crafted in elementary school… oh, and my old pacifiers!

I have a little bundle of cards to report:

@dnrhott Thank you for the Dickensian Christmas card. I really like the stickers, tape and stamp, as well! Wishing you a season filled with good cheer!

@mere5oh Thank you for the Christmas sweater Winter card! I haven’t been to Durango in years! My younger son loved trains when he was little and would have loved the Polar Express train. Merry Christmas!

@Torchwood3 I really like these cozy little bears staying toasty with their hot cocoa. We all can hope to do the same this Winter! No snow here yet! It’s a big deal because it’s breaking records and there is concern about moisture in the mountains for skiing and water resources. It will probably be a snowy Spring. Thanks so much for the card!

@Susaninutah Thanks for the pretty Angel card! I like sending Christmas cards, too! This year I signed my Parents up for the Angel Card Project. They are living independently, but Covid has slowed them down a bit in terms of travel and such. On the first day, their mailbox was filled to the brim with cards! My Dad asked who these strangers were! Ha! I said to try to enjoy the cards!

@normajean Thank you for this sweet snowman card! Your handwriting is so lovely! Wishing you a season filled with good cheer! All the best in 2022!!

Thank you everyone! I look forward to hanging these on my garland!

@sraelling sent a lovely night snow forest card - so pretty! I am a huge Boston Bruins fan :black_heart::yellow_heart::black_heart::yellow_heart:Going to my first game in 2 years in mid-December​:ice_hockey: My son has played since he was 6 and still plays in a men’s league. We think the Kraken is such an awesome name for a hockey team. Give them a few years, look at the Las Vegas Golden Knights​:wink:. Happy Holidays!
