I love getting Christmas cards–especially the family pictures from faraway friends. That way I get to watch their children grow up through the mail. None of my friends are watching my children grow up. Because I’ve never sent holiday cards. The idea is way too much pressure for a professional procrastinator. I do THINK about […]
