[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a child I remember sitting next to the Christmas tree looking at the all pictures of families my mom knew from college. She would tell me stories about her time with them or about her life when she knew them. She passed while I was young and those memories are some of the best I have.

I hope to pass that tradition down to my kids. It really helped me learn more about my mom as a human/ friend and not just my mom.

Another fun thing I do with ours is after I take them down, I put a binder ring on them. Every week the family on top I either email or call to tell them I’m thinking of them and to see if there is anything we could do to be helpful. Many times just the conversation is nice but others I’ve learned of sick kids or spouse, so I try to either send food/ Uber eats card or anything that would be unobtrusive yet helpful. It’s how I stay in touch with people from all the stages of life. [/quote]

I have never liked these kinds of Christmas cards but this is really touching, PP.  Helps me see the value in them. Thank you. [/quote]
