As I sit here trying to finish my holiday cards this year, I am also remembering the anticipation every year in receiving Christmas cards from family and friends. I loved running out to the mailbox to see it stuffed with envelopes.
Before the social networking explosion that has occurred, we all would pour over the Christmas letters that would arrive each day giving us "status updates."
The tradition that we had, was to tape up all of the cards on our door leading to the basement from our dining room. My mom would decorate the doorframe with garland, and it became such a festive looking door with all of the amazing designs of the Christmas cards we received.
That is one of the images I will always have of my childhood Christmas'.
