Holiday Woes...


Ok, so I was trying really hard to create a "Holiday Newsletter" to send to everyone in place of Christmas cards this year, but boy was I having a hard time. It isn't surprising that someone who talks as much as I do can't figure out a way to sum up the entire year in one page. But, then I thought about and realized that almost everyone I would send a card to already reads the blog and therefore already knows that the Coleman's had a pretty good year.


Then, as I was discussing my concerns with my Mom, she (ever the hippy) said people should "Go Green" this year and save some trees. I thought this might be a great idea, then I remembered that the economy is struggling and it is nice to keep the mailman busy. But alas, then I remembered that my mailman only delivers 75% of my mail (100% if you count the stuff that he accidentally delivers to the neighbors), and do I really want him to have job security...I don't know....Probably through the holidays...at least.


So it was decided, I wasn't going to send holiday cards. Until I remembered how happy it always makes me to open the mailbox and see that someone had thought of us enough to take the time to send a card. At this time the cards we have received are the only Christmas decor (ok, and the stockings I hung also) that we have put up. We are waiting for Aaron to come home to put up the tree and all the other fun stuff.


So, I have added a poll, to send a card or not to send a card...vote if you have an opinion. I am curious to see what everyone thinks.
P.S. If you don't see a card from me in the mail...it isn't because I wasn't thinking of you, it was because I went Green. :)

The most important part of Christmas cards are the cute Christmas/winter themed pictures of kids. So my vote (yes its late) is for an ecard with a picture of Evan in a santa suit. Or maybe a reindeer.....
