Merry Christmas to those who are far away.
Missing you at this joyful time of the year.
Wish you were here, we may not be together in person on Christmas day, but you will be in our mind and hearts.

Cards, Parcels and Postage
Who invented Christmas cards? I can never remember partners, children or pets names. Then there is the spelling of names. Big sigh! Even the simplest of names can be spelt different ways, like Clare. Once the card is written, (which due to my poor handwriting no one will be able to read anyway), I have to find the address. I love a Welsh one – it can use all the letters in the alphabet twice!!! In future I think I will make a creative Christmas image post for Facebook. Beside being much better for my stress levels, it is better for the environment too.
I find wrapping parcels fine. Although everyone else’s may be neater, mine are a little more creative. Dyspraxic + sellotape = interesting messy creation! Once again, if I need to send them off I have to do the address and a return label. The pressure of writing neatly with a sharpie on cardboard always gets me stressed before I even start. One year I am going to put all my addresses in my contacts on my computer and neatly print the labels. Postage dates are important to remember too. I am always so busy getting everything done for the big day on the 25th December that I forget I need to actual post everything a week before! Oh well I hope people like their Christmas surprise that gets there in January!
