I had an old-fashioned breakfast with the mail
this morning…all that was missing was the butler
to deliver it to the table on a salver.
It is rare to have a stack of letters
these days, but because my recent sale was
conducted in the old-fashioned way with checks
and stamps, in between bites of coffee cake
and sips of hot coffee I opened envelope after
envelope and gathered a few windowsills of
pretty cards and warm Christmas wishes.
A very cheery way to start the day.

Lesley,
As you are counting down the days until Christmas and the New Year, I am still delighting in your small entries to The Bower. I want to thank you again for the beautifully designed Calendar of One’s Own, which I plan to keep very good care of.
May all the Joys of Christmas be yours –

Cards and letters have been on the decline since we have embraced the internet and e-mail.
Receiving Christmas Cards is pure pleasure.
Thank you, for sharing!
